Carnegie Hall

Angélica Negrón’s piece “Un, dos, tres” was inspired in part by a chant from a clapping game that she grew up with. “As I started working on this piece, I kept coming back to a jump rope game I played during my childhood in Puerto Rico. The game has a very simple and playful chant, and the rhythm of the chant was the main inspiration for the similarly simple three-note motif in the piece.” “Un, dos, tres” is a piece that was composed specifically for Link Up students. The piece was inspired by a clapping game she played as a child growing up in Puerto Rico. It has three sections in which students can perform alongside the orchestra.

Singing Section

As the piece is performed, the lyrics below will be projected and you will be invited to sing or play the melody with the orchestra.

You will hear members of the orchestra play short melodies using three notes: G, A, and B. These notes will be represented by the numbers 1 (G), 2 (A), and 3 (B). Your goal is to echo these melodies using your recorder or your voice by listening and following the numbers as they appear on the screen.
