Elkoshi, Rivka. Tsippi Fleischer's "The
Judgment of Solomon" - a Listening Experiment
and its Ramifications for Music Education (in Hebrew) |
|
The operatic scene "The Judgment of Solomon" served as the basis for an experimental project involving schoolchildren. The purpose of the experiment was to examine the work's educational
value for children who have studied the story as part of their Bible Studies class. One aim of the study was to examine whether any conclusions could be drawn from this specific experiment on the general
value of musical works for the teaching of Biblical narratives. Rivka Elkoshi's article (a version of which also appears in the book "The Judgment of Solomon: An Interdisciplinary Approach
to a Biblical Story") presents the experimental process and the conclusions drawn from it. The article includes reproductions of children's paintings, inspired by the musical work. |
