The Heartbeat of Music
Mei-Ann Chen, conductor
PickleShoes, guest artists
Put your hand over your heart. Be still and quiet. What do you feel?
Your heartbeat is always there. Most of the time, you are not aware that your heart is beating. While it beats on and on, you go about your daily routine. Think about your normal day. Most of us do certain things every single day, often at the same time every day. But every day is not the same - you have good days and bad days, happy days and sad days. Sometimes, something really exciting or unusual happens. Meanwhile, unnoticed, your heart beats on.
The same is true of music. While the rhythm holds our attention, underneath the rhythm, the beat just keeps on ticking. The beat, like your heartbeat, is the pulse – the very life – of music. Music happens in time the way your life happens in time. The steady beat sets the pace and divides time into little bits. Meanwhile, the rhythm may have a dull day or an exciting day, just like you, but – the beat goes on.
Join ASO Assistant Conductor Mei-Ann Chen and the ASO as they explore that essential musical element of rhythm!
