Hello and welcome to the young people's concerts.

未来形

I'm Ted Whip Rude and I'll be your host at our next concert.

Well, babble, nonsense sounds, verse poetry.

Can you imagine a poem made up entirely of nonsense?

If you do, you're the only one who knows what it means.

Imagine music to go with that form, where the music actually expresses what you mean, even though the words don't does this sound kind of crazy?

Maybe it is, but it's something we're going to hear at the concert.

It's the title and the first word of a poem written a long time ago by a man named Hugo Ball.

And people have been wondering ever since what Mr Ball may have meant by this nonsense poem or whether he meant anything at all.

I thought it would be fun to compose music for Caravan A that suggests meanings that may or may not be there in the poem at all.

Salomon is composer and residents here at the New York Philharmonic.

So he's friends with all of us here, and this is a very special chance for us to share his music with you and see whether you think Caravan A actually means something.

The question of meaning Does meaning come from words?

Does it come from music is really interesting because the sounds that come out of people's mouths, words and the sounds that come out of instruments music can actually imitate each other.

If a trumpet is playing music that sounds like someone arguing that music might have more meaning than the words themselves.

Or if a lot of instruments are chattering like a big crowd, you might almost think you can hear the gossip.

On the other hand, if a lot of voices are making sounds that don't make real words, they might be making music that instruments can't.

In addition to the whole New York Philharmonic, you'll hear the New York Coral artists 80 professional singers on stage with us.

You'll hear some stupefying music from a piece called Carmina Burana by the composer Carl Orff.

You'll hear a couple of the pictures at an exhibition by Modesto Gorski and, of course, part two of Caravan by Esa Pekka Salonen.

It's going to be a concert unlike anything we've done before.

You'll be able to meet members of the New York Philharmonic, try out different kinds of instruments and hear music newly composed by very young composers around your age.
