Mosaic of Dionysos
2nd Century BCE - Corinth, Greece
When you think about great works of art, what images come
to your mind? Perhaps you see Mona Lisa by Leonardo da
Vinci? Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh? Maybe you visualize
more contemporary artwork or even architecture? Take a
moment and think about it. Art is all around us and it can
occur in various forms. No matter what type of art you just
imagined, artists exist who can create it. They can be inspired
by books, nature, relationships, world travels or even tragedy.
To an artist, vision is everything. Throughout history, artists
around the world have used different materials to express
their unique vision. Today, we will examine a special type of
art form known as the mosaic.
The mosaic is an art form that has existed
for nearly 4,000 years. It is believed
to have originated from the ancient
Mesopotamia region (now called the
Middle East). Some of the oldest mosaics
in the world have been found in ancient
Greece, Turkey and Italy. Mosaic artwork
consists of brightly colored tile, stone or
glass pieces. Each mosaic can contain
hundreds, even thousands, of individual
pieces. Sometimes, the mosaic is so
clear and detailed that from a distance,
it actually looks like a painting! Initially,
the mosaic technique was used for
the flooring in homes. Gradually, this
technique was used to create beautiful
art work. Early mosaic artwork depicted
religious scenes from the Bible and Greek
mythology. It is now recognized around
the world as a prominent artistic genre.

Now, how does all of this apply to music? Well,
composers are artists too! Composers are truly gifted
at taking a variety of sounds and putting them together
to create a unique experience for the audience. They can
“piece” together the various sounds of the orchestra to create
a musical picture. Instead of paint or mosaic tiles, composers
use sound to create artwork that we can hear! Camille Saint-
Saëns, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel were remarkably talented
composers whose artistic vision has made a tremendous impact within
the world of music. In this guidebook, we will explore each composer and a
sample of their musical contributions. We will also explore some concepts in art. You
will find that art and music are more connected than you may think.
The Lubbock Symphony Orchestra
cordially invites you to attend our
Teen Education Concert on January
20, 2022 at the beautiful Buddy Holly
Hall! Our LSO is so excited to share this
program with you. Mosaic: Piecing It
Together will help you learn about the
connections between art and music.
We cannot wait to see you there!

Virtuoso
Violinists
We know that different types of artists can create amazing
work. Painters use paint, mosaic artists use tiles, and
composers use the sounds of the orchestra. Well,
musicians can be considered artists too! Performing
music is truly an art form, and our education concert will
feature a special instrument in the orchestra: the violin! This
beautiful string instrument has existed for hundreds of years
and adds a bright timbre or sound to the orchestra.
In order to make significant progress on the violin, it takes
dedication and many years of practice. However, there are
some musicians who have excelled and made a lasting impact
within the violin world. They are known as virtuosos. A virtuoso
is a musician who is highly skilled on an instrument and can
impress audiences with his or her abilities.

One of the most famous virtuoso violinists was NiccolÒ
Paganini. He was a masterful violinist and composer who wrote
music that was considered impossible to play! Generations of
violinists have been inspired by his music. Jascha Heifetz, David
Oistrakh, Itzhak Perlman, Gil Shaham, Hilary Hahn, Janine
Jansen and Gidon Kremer are just a few examples of famous
artists who have mastered the violin. On January 20, 2022, you
will have the opportunity to hear a wonderful violinist join the
Lubbock Symphony for an amazing performance. Look at

Meet Our Guest Violinist,
Chee-Yun Kim!
1) What inspired you to start playing the violin?
As the youngest of four children, I grew up listening to my older siblings play
instruments and naturally i wanted to play one too, especially the piano. But shortly
after starting the piano lessons at the age of five, I was encouraged to quit since my
oldest sister, who was a child prodigy, needed to practice for the competitions and
we only had one piano in the house. My second oldest sister was playing the violin
at the time but she hated practicing it, so I took over her violin lessons as a favor.
2) You have performed in beautiful venues all over the world. Could you tell us
about one of your most memorable performances?
It’d have to be playing at the White House for President Clinton and his guests for a
concert representing the future musicians of America at the National Medal of the Arts.
3) If you were not a professional violinist, what career do you think you would have?
I’m passionate about music so if I couldn’t play the violin for a living, I’d love
to be able to help the musicians as a manager, promoter, or presenter.
4) What advice would you offer to students considering a
career in music? This is a difficult one to answer as everyone
has different paths, but if you’re truly passionate about music
and willing to prioritize it above everything else, I believe you’ll
find your own path.
5) Please share a few of your favorite composers and
why they inspire you. I’m currently working on music
by Piazzolla, Ravel and Saint-Saëns. I love their
music because they are complex, imaginative,
challenging and passionate!
6) Which genres of music do you enjoy
besides classical? I love listening to vocal jazz,
especially female singers. Billie Holiday, Laura
Fygi, Diana Krall, Norah Jones and Melody
Gardot are some of my favorite singers to
listen to when I’m driving a car or cooking.

Sensational Saint-Saëns
Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) was a composer, pianist,
conductor and professor from Paris, France. At only two years
old, he started playing the piano and was considered a musical
prodigy. He attended the Paris Conservatoire and would later
learn the organ as well. As a composer, Saint-Saëns wrote a
variety of music such as opera, symphonies and concertos for
violin, piano and cello.
All three of the composers we will learn about in this guidebook
are French. However, Saint-Saëns is a little different from
the other two. He is known as a Romantic composer. The
Romantic Period took place during the late 18th century and
lasted through the early 19th century. Composers of this period
experimented with harmony and wrote more expressive music.
Saint-Saëns loved to travel and was exposed to many different
types of music, art and culture. This had a major influence on his
style of writing music. The first excerpt you will hear comes from
Saint-Saëns’ piece called Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso.
He wrote this piece in 1863 for a violinist named Pablo de
Sarasate. It has a Spanish style to it that you will enjoy! This is
a famous solo piece for violinists and is known as a showpiece.
Think of a showpiece as music that shows off the technical
ability of the musician. The music is challenging to perform, but
very impressive to see in the audience!
Art info Saint-Saëns playing the organ (1904)

Impressionism
At the beginning of the guidebook, we learned about a beautiful art form called
mosaic. We know that thousands of individual pieces can be used for mosaic
artwork. The creation of a mosaic is a challenging process and it can take months
to complete. Up close, you can see the detail of each individual piece. Yet from a
distance, the mosaic gives the “impression” of an actual painting. That brings us to
our next artistic topic: Impressionism!
Art info Impression: Sunrise (1872) | Claude Monet
Impressionism is an artistic movement that
began in France during the 1800s. This was a new
style of painting for that time period and was
criticized at first. This type of art is not meant to
be perfect or precise. Sometimes, it can appear
to be unclear or even a little messy. Rather than
perfection, Impressionist art is meant to capture a
moment in time and the feelings connected to that
moment. Most Impressionist art contains images
of landscapes and moments from everyday life.
This artistic movement started with a painting
called Impression: Sunrise by French artist, Claude
Monet. Other Impressionist artists include Camille
Pissarro, Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
So, how do we connect all of this to music? Well,
as we learned earlier, composers are artists too!
Instead of paint they use a variety of sounds to
create musical artwork. Two of the composers
featured on this program are known as
“Impressionist” composers. Claude Debussy and
Maurice Ravel were French composers who were
also influenced by art. Similar to Impressionist
painters, their music is meant to capture a feeling
or a moment in time. When listening to these
composers, it is easy to feel taken away to another
place! They were truly talented at using sound
to capture a feeling or a particular scene. Turn

composers, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel!

Delightful Debussy
Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was a French composer and
pianist who made significant contributions to the world of
music. He was incredibly talented as a pianist and attended
the Paris Conservatoire at the age of ten. Throughout his life,
Debussy was connected to poets, artists and composers. As a
result, he was truly immersed in art, music and culture, which
is reflected in his music.
Debussy is often referred to as an Impressionist composer.
As we learned earlier, Impressionism is an artistic movement
that developed in France. For a composer, Impressionism is
all about creating a mood or capturing a moment in time.
Debussy’s music does this in a beautiful way.
Below is a short excerpt from the
first movement of his piece called
Nocturnes. The title of this movement
is Nuages, which is French for “Clouds”.
Here, the clarinets and bassoons are
playing together. A special sound is
created because of the intervals used. An
interval is simply the distance between
two notes. The clarinets and bassoons
are playing a pattern using intervals of
fifths and thirds. Listen to this excerpt!
Can you see the clouds floating by?

This next excerpt is completely different from what we
just heard! Debussy was amazing at creating music that
captures emotions, but he also wrote music that captures a
particular scene. This excerpt is from the second movement
of Nocturnes. The title for this movement is Fetes, which is
French for “Festivals”. Pay special attention to the sounds of
the Brass Section in the orchestra. This section contains the
horns, trumpets, trombones and tuba! They create a full and
energetic sound in this music. As you listen, imagine yourself
at a fun outdoor festival in France!

Resilient Ravel
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) was a French composer
and conductor who truly made his mark on
music history. Similar to Debussy, Ravel was also a
gifted pianist. He began piano lessons at the age
of six and later attended the Paris Conservatoire.
He studied composition with French composer
Gabriel Faure and would grow to have his own
unique style of writing music. Throughout his
career, Ravel wrote a variety music for piano,
violin, string quartet and the orchestra.
Ravel’s music is full of influences from art and culture. However, he was also
influenced by world events and personal experiences in his life. During World War
I, Ravel was an ambulance driver and witnessed the terrors of battle. He was deeply
saddened by the war and many of his friends lost their lives. Although this was a
difficult time his life, Ravel proved to be resilient. He did not give up and used his
experience to create more music. For example, one of Ravel’s friends lost his right
arm during the war. He was a pianist named Paul Wittgenstein. Ravel wrote a piece
just for him called Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (1929-30).
When listening to Ravel, you will hear a variety of sounds. Similar to
Debussy, Ravel’s writing was influenced by art, music and culture
from around the world. Although Ravel was a French composer,
his music does not always sound French. Check out this excerpt
from his piece, Alborada del gracioso. The title is in Spanish and often
translated as “Song of the Jester”. Listen to the strings and percussion.
The use of the castanets adds a Spanish flavor to the music!

“The only love affair I ever had was with music.”
—Maurice Ravel
Ravel was inspired by various musical styles and cultures. He especially enjoyed Hungarian
folk melodies. The next excerpt you will hear is taken from Ravel’s piece called Tzigane,
which is French for “Gypsy”. This term was used to refer to Romani people in Europe.
Tzigane is an amazing solo piece for violin and it is incredibly difficult to play. The piece
starts with something called a cadenza, in which the violinist plays alone. It is meant to
sound improvised, or as if the violinist is making up the music on the spot. Enjoy the rich
sound of the violin and imagine yourself in a distant land listening to a virtuoso violinist!

Artistic Inspiration
Art is defined as the following: something that is created with imagination and
skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings. In this case,
there are many possibilities for what art can be! As we have learned throughout
the guidebook, art exists in many forms. Whether it is with mosaics, paintings or a
symphony, artists and composers can find a way to express their vision.
In order to create beautiful works of art, the artist must
first have inspiration. As we know, nature, travel and
world events can all serve as a source of inspiration for
artists and composers. Saint-Saëns and Debussy were
inspired by world travels and scenes from everyday
life. Ravel was deeply affected by World War I and the
loss of his friends. Yet, he found inspiration to create
beautiful music. These composers made a huge
impact on music history and over 100 years later, we
are still playing their music!

artistic voice. Everyone can create something special
and add beauty to the world.

Class Activity:
"Piecing it together"
The theme of this guidebook is Mosaic: Piecing It Together. We covered quite a
bit of information about art and music, so let’s “piece It together!” Please review
the guidebook individually and then discuss it as a class. Here are some ideas and
questions to think about:
• Review all artwork in the guidebook
• Discuss the artwork! Does it look like the title? What do you like about it?
• Listen to all 5 musical excerpts (Available on Lubbock Symphony website)
• How does this music sound to you? Does it sound like the title?
• When you hear the music, how do you feel? Is it calming or exciting?
• Has anyone ever heard of these composers or artists before? If so, share what
you know about them!
• Review all the glossary terms

Art + Music:
Make the Connection!
As we have learned in the guidebook, art and music are more connected than we
think! Artists listen to music and composers can be inspired by art to create their
music. Art is all around us in many ways. Everything is connected, just like the pieces
of a mosaic. Let’s find some ways for you to “make the connection!” Here are some
ideas to get you more connected to art and music in your community:
• Visit an art museum
• Attend a production of a musical
• Make art projects at home with family and friends
• Attend symphony concerts with family and friends
• Start music lessons for voice or an instrument
• Try taking an art or music class at school

Meet Our Mosaic Artist,
Sonia King!
The Lubbock Symphony is honored to introduce mosaic artist Sonia
King! Her beautiful work is featured on the front and back cover of our
guidebook. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Sonia King has been creating
mosaic artwork for nearly 25 years. Her work is recognized around the
world and she has a permanent installation in the Dallas Arts District. Let’s
get to know her a little better!
1) When did you first begin creating mosaic art?
My mom was a mosaic artist and I remember playing with colored tiles,
pushing them around when I was small. Later, after working in other
mediums as well as in the business world, I came back to the art form,
working on a contemporary interpretation of the ancient art of mosaics as a
fine art medium.
"Mosaic is hard. Art is harder."
—Sonia King | mosaicworks.com
2) What inspires you as an artist?
I create art to give tangible shape and form to the unknowable, creating a map to places I’ll never
find again. There isn’t a destination: the process is the objective. The mosaic serves as a souvenir
of a journey through obscure lands. Creating mosaic is my way of making sense of a complex and
uncertain world. As the work becomes more map-like, I seem to be finding my way without knowing
where I am going. I remain fascinated with an altered view of the earth on which we live, landscapes
both familiar and unreal. Hopefully, after seeing my work, viewers will look at the environment
around them with different eyes. At the moment, the illusion and the contradiction fascinate me. Is
this a slide under a microscope or a view from outer space?
3) You have created hundreds of mosaics and they are in museums around the
world. Could you tell us about one of your most memorable pieces?
It was especially gratifying when my work, Depthfinder, became the first by an American to enter
the permanent collection of contemporary mosaic art at the Museo d’Arte della Città di Ravenna,
Italy. Ravenna is the center of the mosaic world so it was real special.
4) When you are not creating mosaics, what hobbies do you enjoy?
I grew up traveling internationally and I’m excited that that’s becoming possible again. And I walk
everyday with a focus on the visual, finding bits of unexpected beauty in the world around me. It’s
something my mother taught me to do from a young age.
5) Why is it so important to continue supporting arts education in schools?
Education in the arts is critical to the health of our society. Children that grow up with an exposure
to the arts become well-rounded citizens with a broader world view.

Instruments of
the Orchestra
1. STRING FAMILY | Violin, Viola, Cello, String Bass
These expressive instruments have strings that stretch across the top of their curvy wooden bodies
and necks. A musician plays the instrument by drawing a bow across the strings, making them
vibrate, and thus producing a sound that is amplified by the instrument’s hollow body. The bow
is usually made of wood, and it is strung with horse hair. The pitch is changed by the musician
pressing his/her fingers on the strings.
2. WOODWIND FAMILY | Flute, Piccolo, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon
These instruments each have a uniquely colorful sound and were originally all made of wood, but
today they are made of wood, metal, plastic or some combination. Woodwind instruments work
by blowing air, or wind, into the instrument, which causes the air in the instrument to vibrate and
make noise. The mouthpieces for some woodwinds use a thin piece of wood called a reed, or in
some instruments a doublereed, which vibrates when blown across.
3. BRASS FAMILY | Trumpet, Horn, Trombone, Tuba
These instruments, which range from high to low in pitch, are made of brass and can play louder
than any other in the orchestra. Like woodwinds, brass players use their breath to produce sound,
but instead of blowing into a reed they vibrate their own lips by buzzing them against a metal cupshaped
mouthpiece that amplifies the sound. Most brass instruments have valves that look like
buttons attached to their long pipes; when someone presses down on the valves, they open and
close different parts of the pipe. They change the pitch and sound by pressing different valves and
buzzing their lips harder or softer.
4. PERCUSSION | Bass Drum, Cymbals,
Timpani, Xylophone, Tambourine, Triangle
Percussion instruments include any instrument
that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken, or
scraped. Some percussion instruments are tuned
and can sound different notes, like the xylophone
or timpani. Others have no definite pitch, like the bass
drum, cymbals, or castanets. Percussion instruments
help keep the rhythm, make special sounds, and
often add excitement!
4
2
5. OTHERS | Piano, Harp, Voice
Some instruments that might also be included in
the orchestra are the piano, the harpsichord, and
the harp. The piano and harp are similar in that strings
are used to make sounds. The pianist presses keys
that tap the strings, while the harpist plucks strings.
The celesta is similar in appearance to an upright
piano but uses steel plates instead of strings inside.

SOUNDS
& ACTIONS
THAT
GET IN THE WAY
Talking, texting, opening your purse,
whispering, jingling coins, rustling
programs, saying “shhhh,” coughing,
forgetting to silence beeping watches

attention in order to
give you our best
performance.
We are so excited to have you join us for this wonderful musical experience! The
musicians you will see in the upcoming performance depend on you for
their success. They are very aware of you — their audience — and
they respond to the energy you send them. They take joy
from an appreciative audience and return it with
an exciting performance. Your attention
and applause inspire them to
perform well!
WHEN
MUSIC IS
PLAYING...
Try to remain quiet and
listen to the music. Please stay in

Clap when the
EXPERIENCING
ENTIRE piece
THE CONCERT
is over.
We ask that you help to
create a frame of silence in which
the music can thrive and embrace you.
When the concert is over, please remain in
your seat and wait for instructions from
your school leaders. Sit back, relax,
and let your imagination
take you whenever it
wants to go.
WHEN
TO
APPLAUD
In many kinds of
music, the audience claps
whenever there is an ending — if
the music stops, people applaud.
In classical music, one piece may
have several endings within it,
and you are supposed to wait
until the very last ending before
you clap. When in doubt, simply
wait until the conductor faces
you and takes a bow. It is also
polite to applaud when the
concertmaster comes on
stage, as well as when
the conductor walks
to the podium.
