Programmatic Music in the Romantic
Era
Your Task:
- Choose
- A movement from “Symphonie
Fantastique” by Hector Berlioz
- Images that represent the “programme”
and story telling aspects of that movement (use high resolution royalty
free images where possible)
- Each time the “idée fixe”
appears, you must use an appropriate image of to represent it.
- Using video editing software
or slide presentation software, make a multi-media project that
incorporates the music and imagery together to visually tell the story of
the programmatic piece.
- All visuals must reflect the
music as it changes . (i.e. When the “scene” changes in the
music, the visuals must change to represent the new imagery)
- Begin your presentation with a short biography on the composer, explaining his legacy and important contributions to music and the details of the movement you chose. Collaborate with your classmates on the bio/legacy/contributions portion of the presentation and divide the information.

IDC4U - Exploring Hector Berlioz
Hello IDC4U Students,
I hope you are having a good day. I am on a field trip with the Senior Strings students to Massey Hall today.
Your task today is to use an interactive web tool from the San Fransisco Symphony that explores the piece we will be studying called "Symphonie Fantastique", by Hector Berlioz.
This piece is a great example of music of the Romantic Era, and of Programmatic Music. Check out this link to get a quick background on this topic.
Your Task:
Follow each step of this interactive web tool to discover the answers to the following questions:
a. What is the "idee fixe" and what does it represent? Listen to it.
b. Who was the Symphonie Fantastique written about?
c. How does the character of Harriet appear first? What instruments are used?
d. The Score: Choose one example of how the "idee fixe" is heard in each of the four movements of the symphony and describe how the theme sounds different in each movement. Remember to think about instrumentation, tempo, rhythm, and dynamics in your answers. Short form answers are okay.
Print your answers and bring them to class on Friday where we will discuss them. Try not to choose the same examples as your classmate so we will have lots to discuss on Friday.
Have a good day!
Ms. Moynihan
