Marita Scheller: Carl Orff Competition 2019 Musikalische Geschichte über einen kleinen syrischen

A musical story about a Syrian boy and his friend - a bird. The basis of the story is largely of a Syrian kid’s song (Tiri Tiri - thank you for the musical inspiration given to us through a project of young refugees). The guidelines are shape based on this. (Measures from Mozart and Orff).
The story is divided into three parts:
Part One
The bird tells the boy of a distant land with beautiful music by Mozart. Elements are playfully weaved together by the boy with the bird in his children's song. Then, first the chaos of war - The everyday stops when disaster eventually comes - The boy and his family lose their home - The city lies in rubble

Part Two
Horror, despair
Fleeing across the Mediterranean Sea - Grief over the loss of home - Relatives and friends left behind

Part Three
Being stranded on the shores of Italy - The joys of recollection with the memories, the hopes and trepidations; what will the future bring?
Arrival in Germany - The boy makes new friends, they make music together - The forming of the nursery rhyme "Little Sister Come Dance with Me"
