DESCRIPTION
Ready to meet some all-star players? Let us introduce you to two people who play music and love baseball. First up, National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) violinist Glenn Donnellan, who plays a violin he made from a baseball bat. Next up, the Washington Nationals ballpark organist Matthew Van Hoose, who plays a keyboard that can sound like several instruments. Together they explore what baseball and music have in common.

A Good Audience… stays seated,stays quiet,doesn’t eat,
listens, and claps. Have fun!
Musical Instrument “Petting Zoo”Before the concert, enjoy hands-on fun in the Hall of States with the instruments that the musicians will play on stage. A project of the Women’s Committee for the NSO.
“Preview” the Concert Hall We hope you have so much fun at the concert that you’ll come back soon to hear a performance of the full National Symphony Orchestra—that’s 100 musicians! When they all play together, they perform on the big stage in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. Get a sneak peek at the Hall (and even go backstage) in the playful online tour led by former NSO Associate Conductor Emil de Cou at: artsedge.kennedy-center.org/nsoed.
Upcoming Family ConcertsPlease build on your Kinderclassic experience by attending next season’s National Symphony Orchestra Family Concerts for full orchestra, held on Sunday afternoons in the Concert Hall. Check kennedy-center.org/nso/programs/family for dates and details.
The NSO also presents full orchestra Young People’s Concerts for school groups in the Concert Hall each season during the school day for grades 3 through 6.

For Teachers and ParentsDear Grownups:Welcome to the NSO Kinderclassics, designed to introduce children in pre-kindergarten through grade 2 to musical instruments of the orchestra. Please help your young concert-goers read and understand the information in this Cuesheet. The information and activity ideas below are designed to help you further the children’s concert experience.
The Concert ProgramBefore or after the concert, you may want to have the children listen to some or all of these musical selections from the concert repertoire. Point out that some of the music will sound different at the concert because it has been adapted for violin and piano. Ask children to see whether they can recognize the music when they hear it the second time.
If they are listening after the performance, see whether they can identify rhythms, tempos, and changing pitches that make the Beethoven selections exciting.
Excerpts from these works by Ludwig van Beethoven:Piano Concerto No. 5 (“Emperor”), movement 1
Sonata for violin and piano No. 9 (“Kreutzer”), movement 1
Symphony No. 9, finale (“Ode to Joy”)
Piano Sonata No. 14 (“Moonlight Sonata”)
Symphony No. 3 (“Eroica”), movement 2
Plus:“Infernal Gallop” (“Can-Can”) from the opera Orpheus in the Underworld by Jacques Offenbach (AH-fen-bahk)
“Take Me Out to the Ballgame” by Albert von Tilzer and Jack Norwith
“Old MacDonald Had a Farm”
Casey at the Bat arranged by Glenn Donnellan and Matthew Van Hoose (poem by Ernest Lawrence Thayer)
Here are some post-performance activities for children:
Add ExcitementChoose a song you know, like “London Bridge Is Falling Down.” Try singing it using some of the ideas you learned about like changing the tempo (singing it faster or slower) or pitch (singing it higher or lower).
Getting the RhythmPart of playing music is being able to follow a rhythm. So give it a try. Clap a rhythm, like slow-slow-fast-fast. Ask a friend to copy you. Then switch roles. Try as many different patterns as you like. What makes rhythms more interesting or exciting to you?
Picturing MusicThe music for Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 became known as “Moonlight Sonata” because one person said the sound reminded him of moonlight on water. Think about the Beethoven music you enjoyed the most during the performance, and draw a picture of what it made you think of.

At the ConcertReady to meet some star players? Let us introduce you to two people who play music and love baseball. First up, National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) violinist Glenn Donnellan, who plays a violin he made from a baseball bat. Next up, the Washington Nationals ballpark organist Matthew Van Hoose, who plays a keyboard that can sound like several instruments. With the help of music written by Ludwig van Beethoven (pronounced LOOD-vig VAHN BAY-toh-ven) and other composers, these all-stars show you how music can rally the crowds.
Tempo
Say out loud, “I just ran all the way home,” first really slow (like you’re tired), then really fast (like you’re excited). Well, music can be slow or fast, too, like a slow bedtime song that helps you relax or a fast song that makes you want to jump around. The speed of music is called its tempo.
Putting It All Together—Casey at the BatWhat happens when you put rhythm, tempo, and pitch all together—plus add spoken words? Glenn and Matthew show you by performing Casey at the Bat, a poem with music about a baseball game and a star slugger named Casey.
In the poem, Casey’s “Mudville Nine” team is losing, and the crowd is disappointed. But then it’s Casey’s turn at bat—and people get excited because they’re sure Casey will hit a homerun and win the game. Most sure of all is the mighty Casey. He’s so sure that he doesn’t try to hit the first two balls pitched to him. “Strike two,” the umpire calls. Casey has one last chance. Will he strike out or hit that winning run?
Listen for how the music helps you picture what’s happening, like Casey’s walking to bat, a bat hitting a ball, and a crowd roaring.
Rhythm
Rhythm is made up of strong and weak beats in a repeating pattern and is what makes you want to tap your foot, snap your fingers, or clap your hands when you hear the music. Certain rhythms really make people sit up and listen. During the performance, you’ll have a chance to hear different and exciting rhythms.
Pitch
Try singing like a bird, and then switch to humming like an engine. Most likely, your bird singing was a higher sound and your engine humming was a lower one. You’ll hear different pitches like this in music, too—and the ways they change can sound exciting.
How to Hit a Musical Home RunDuring the performance, you’ll learn a few ways music can load the bases, but let’s take a sneak peek here.
The piano is a keyboard instrument. Pianists make sound by pressing the keys, which causes small hammers inside the instrument to strike the steel strings and make them vibrate. Other keyboard instruments include the organ and harpsichord. Each of the piano’s 88 black and white keys plays a different tone, or note, so the piano can make a wide variety of sounds. Pianos come in different sizes and shapes, from electronic versions (like the one Matthew will play), to upright pianos and “grand” pianos, in which the sound comes out of an open top.
A Key Instrument
Here’s Glenn playing his handmade “batolin” at a baseball game. He was able to make his own violin
from a baseball bat because he’s studied and practiced the violin for many years. And if you’ve been to a Washington Nationals home game,
you’ve probably already heard Matthew playing the organ to rally the crowd and cheer on the team. He also plays piano with orchestras around the country.
The Violin and BatolinA violin (sometimes also called a fiddle) is a four-stringed instrument. Musicians play it using a bow (a wooden stick strung with a tight ribbon of horsehair)
in their right hand and pressing the string with the fingers of their left
hand. The body is wooden with a hollow center. This center
is called a resonating chamber, and it makes
the sound of the strings loud and strong. That sound comes out of the two f-shaped holes.
Glenn made his “batolin” or Electric Slugger™ from a Louisville Slugger™ brand baseball bat. Being solid wood, the bat does not have a resonating chamber. During the performance, notice how that affects the instrument’s sound.
