1.mus.01 Your first song
There is your first song to play. Its name is “Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi” and belongs to a medieval group of songs called Carmina Burana.
Composed in 1936, Orff’s Carmina Burana (Songs of Beuern) can be heard on stage and television screens worldwide. The texts of the songs were discovered in 1803 in the monastery of Benediktbeuren, near Munich, as part of a collection of poetry written by Goliards dating back to the 12th century. Written exclusively for entertainment Carmina Burana are facing problems similar to the problems we face today: love, sex, gambling, fate and fortune. Because of its intended use the text was writting in Latin, vernacular French and German, so that is easily understood and accesible. Carl Orff selected 24 poems and organized them by thematic content.

1.ca.02 Madrid 2020
Ja sabem que Madrid no serà la ciutat olímpica de l’any 2020. Però nosaltres ara només volem fixar-nos en el logotip com a ciutat aspirant, que tenim aquí. Contesta en el quadern les preguntes que se formulen.
Hi veus qualque falta d’ortografia? Creus possible que les xifres inicials siguin 20020? Penses que els colors tenen qualque significat?
Resulta que el creador del logotip el va fer diferent i el COE el modificà. Era aquest.
1.en.04 Nordic landscapes. First day of Autumn: shrinking days and longer nights ahead
Yesterday, the 22nd September was the autumnal equinox. So, despite bright sunny days and high temperatures, summer is officially over.
When do winter, spring, summer and autumn (fall in Am En) begin?
In this page you will find information about seasons, solstices and equinoxes.
This week, we are going to visit an exhibition in La Caixa. Paintings will reflect different seasons. Let’s see if you act as real detectives. Look for examples of paintings that show how seasons affect landscapes.
Write in your notebook the title of the painting, the artist, and the season you think the artist wanted to represent.
Pieter Brueghel is one of the painters you will discover in the exhibition of Nordic Landscapes. Here follows a video with a selection of some of his winter landscapes. Watch it before going on the outing. Then, let’s see if you recognise any of the paintings in Caixa Forum. Try your visual memory. Are you good at remembering images ?

1.en.03 Pedestrian crossings and music
Thanks to the Beatles, Abbey Road pedestrian crossing is world famous. Why? Can you investigate and find out ? Where is Abbey Road? When was this picture taken? Does it look the same nowadays? Check it using Google maps.
A small street, Penny lane, also became well known all over the world thanks to a song.
The Beatles were from Liverpool and they wrote many songs about their life as young people in their hometown. This term we are working with cities, that is one of the reasons why we are interested in cycle lanes and pedestrian crossings.
Let’s listen to the music and follow the Beatles into a small street in Liverpool, Penny Lane,
Lane : a narrow passage between houses
Here follows the lyrics. Some words are missing. Look at the images, they might help you find the correct words to fill the gaps. Some words are repeated:
ears, laugh, barber, fireman, poppies, hello, queen, pouring rain, skies, pies
Enjoy the music!
