The Glass Armonica (“armonia” is the Italian word for harmony), also called the Glass Harmonica, was invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1761. The Glass Armonica is a spinning instrument made from glass bowls and played with wet fingertips. Watch William Zeitler play his arrangement of Tchaikowsky’s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” from the Nutcracker (1892) on the Glass Armonica.

How the Orchestra Sounds

Peter and the Wolf

Story Telling Through Music - Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev
Peter and the Wolf is a “fairy tale” for Symphony Orchestra and narrator, written in 1936 by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. Peter and the Wolf is a story about a boy named Peter, and his adventures in the meadow. The music helps tell the story as each character is represented by a specific instrument.
