There has been an interest in music integration with visual art on Getty
list....
Here is new "stuff" I am finding (all mainly for European/American music)
A poster for your wall for $19.95
http://www.carissimi.com/
(I will not be linking this on my site - but will put it on Art Stores on
IAD - not too exciting looking)
A Music History Timeline Poster (for (9.95)
http://www.friendshiphouse.com/AX3460crd.html (I will put this on IAD Art
Store)
Your class will learn music history from 530 B.C. to the present day.
Colorful illustrations accompany the text to help children visualize the
information. (this one has more kid appeal than the one above)
Classical Music History Timelines on the Web (from Search Beat):
http://music.searchbeat.com/composer.htm
(I will not be linking this site - some of the links I checked were broken)
Rock and Roll timeline (goes back to 1700! up to 2003):
http://www3.sympatico.ca/gary.lessard/timeline.htm
I tried to see if I could find out who Gary Lessard is (this is a personal
web site). It did have fun seeing what happened during the week of my
birthday - and I checked to see what happened Christmas week.
Kiddies will see who died from what - like drug overdoses and such. Explore
to see if you can use this with your students. I will be linking it up
somewhere (Comprehensive Arts page is a likely place).
The Timeline of all Timelines.... in huge poster form (I will not be
linking)
http://www.history-timeline.com/ They say the English version will be ready
in autumn 2004 (elsewhere on the site it was promised in 2002...so enter
your information at your own risk).
You may need a magnifying glass to read all the details on the chart.
Classical Works timeline:
http://www.classicalworks.com/his.pages/timeline.html
This takes you from antiquity (harps/flute in Ancient Egypt) to 1900
I will add this to Comprehensive Arts page (if it isn't there already)
For those interested - History of Country Music (our PE folks did teach
country line dancing one year - I guess I missed my chance then to be
interdisciplinary)
http://www.roughstock.com/history/
Looks like if I keep at it - I will get enough for a whole new web site
(LOL)
Pass this information on to your music department, too. I am making no
promises as to how soon I will add links.... I will need to rethink the
Comprehensive Art page - Maybe add a link to Music History - Dance History -
etc. At least I have a start now....Happy surfing. Let me know which sites
you find most helpful... I only went through three pages of Google and that
was about all I could take for now.
