An important part of the television series Dexter is the music. Without it to set each appropriate mood, fans would be watching something not nearly as captivating as it has been for the past eight seasons. Various artists lend their music to the show to be used and with no doubt, the original score is truly amazing and worthy of the franchise. Thanks to Daniel Licht and Rolfe Kent.
DEXTER MUSIC THEME
This
is the theme best associated with the opening title sequence. The theme
music for the Showtime series DEXTER was composed and recorded
in August 2006. An interesting task, as it was to be both sly and witty
yet dark and with a hint of Miami about it. So it features guiro, latin
percussion, and also Turkish saz and a vaguely reggae beat. It was all
timed to match the opening title sequence.
Kent's widely praised
opening theme utilizes an eclectic selection of European and Asian
instruments, including ukulele, piano, bouzouki, trumpets, pizzicato strings, electric piano, saz, and tambour,
set to an Afro-Cuban beat.
"For The First Time In Forever"(with Kristen Bell) [Anna:]
The window is open, so's that door
I didn't know they did that anymore
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?
"Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" is a song from the 2013 Disney animated film Frozen. It is sung by Anna. The composers are Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
LYRICS
5-Year-Old Anna:
Elsa? (knocks)
Do you want to build a snowman? Come on, let's go and play! I never see you anymore Come out the door It's like you've gone away
Disney's FROZEN tells the story of two sister princess, Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) and Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell). Elsa has the power to create ice and snow out of thin air, but after a childhood accident with her powers, her parents decide to hide the family away and keep the powers a secret from her younger sister.
ABOUT THE SONG "LET IT GO"
In "Let It Go," Menzel shows off her powerful voice that won her a Tony in 2004 for Wicked. It also reveals some of Elsa's more ascetically pleasing snowy powers. The song earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Original Song.
Desperate to teach the students about interval, scales, and triads? Very expensive teaching tools? Check this out!
Music Alphabet Blocks
Cool 3-D shapes to cut out and glue together. Use card-stock for best results. Easy to assemble, and inexpensive enough that the students can even take them home. Use them for learning the musical alphabet, steps, skips, intervals, scales, chords, and anything else you can think of!
Here are some ideas for activities with the music alphabet blocks:
Build the musical alphabet, forwards, backwards, and starting on various letters.
Practice organizing letters into skips.
Practice intervals by picking a block, then finding a block a fourth higher, fifth lower, and so on.
Building triads, and changing them from major to minor, then diminished and augmented.
Building scales.
Sometimes the kids can be rough on things, especially in the group lesson. So here is some tips to extend their life time:
Laminated (just use a craft knife to score the fold lines before you fold them)
Place sections of cardboard on the sides that will face in and that lends support to the overall structure of the cube
You can have the cubes in various colors and sizes for group lessons. Less stress for the music teacher and fun for the students. Hope it's helpful and enjoyable. Happy teaching!
Mr. Bean is a British comedy television programme series of 14 twenty-five-minute episodes written by and starring Rowan Atkinson as the title character. Based on a character originally developed by Atkinson while he was studying for his master's degree at Oxford University, the series follows the exploits of Mr. Bean, described by Atkinson as "a child in a grown man's body", in solving various problems presented by everyday tasks and often causing disruption in the process. Bean rarely speaks, and the largely physical humor of the series is derived from his interactions with other people and his unusual solutions to situations.
The title character, played by Rowan Atkinson, is a childish and self-centered buffoon who brings various unusual schemes and contrivances to everyday tasks. He lives alone in his small flat in Highbury, and is almost always seen in his trademark tweed jacket and a skinny red tie. He also usually wears a digital calculator watch. Mr. Bean rarely speaks, and when he does, it is generally only a few mumbled words which are in a comically low-pitched voice. His first name (he names himself "Bean" to others) and profession, if any, are never mentioned. In the first film adaptation, "Mr." appears on his passport in the "first name" field, and he is shown employed as a guard at London's National Gallery. In Mr. Bean's Holiday, however, his name is listed on his passport as "Rowan", the actor's first name.
Mr. Bean often seems unaware of basic aspects of the way the world works, and the programme usually features his attempts at what would normally be considered simple tasks, such as going swimming, using a television set, redecorating or going to church. The humor largely comes from his original (and often absurd) solutions to problems and his total disregard for others when solving them, his pettiness, and occasional malevolence.
Mr. Bean "Piano Player"
ORIGINAL SERIES
The first episode of the original Mr. Bean series starring Rowan Atkinson was first broadcast on 1st January 1990. Since then Mr. Bean has become known all over the world. Created by Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis and Robin Driscoll, there were only 14 episodes ever made.
The original series emerged from Rowan Atkinson's stage revues of the 1980's which featured the silent odd-ball. Rowan Atkinson's comic acting genius has created a highly original work for television. The Mr. Bean series has been sold to 190 territories worldwide and has won anInternational Emmy and the Golden Rose of Montreux.
ANIMATED SERIES
In 2002 the character was transformed into an animated series of 26 half hour episodes. The series remains entirely faithful to the original Mr. Bean, with the character still living very much in the real world. Rowan Atkinson provides all of Mr. Bean's vocal sounds.
The Animated Series has heralded a new era for one of the UK's most successful characters of all time. Rowan Atkinson worked on the transformation to animated character and acted out every episode in front of the cameras so that the animators could capture the unique movement of Britain's most infamous character.
Characters from the original live action series included Mr. Bean, Irma Gobb, Teddy, and the mysterious driver of the Reliant Supervan, with the new addition of Mrs. Wicket, Bean's landlady, and her evil cat Scrapper.
The series again featured little actual dialogue, with most being either little sound bites or mumbling and mild slapstick. Rowan Atkinson provided the voice for Bean; additionally, all of the animated Bean actions are taken from Atkinson himself.
ORIGINAL VS ANIMATED SERIES
Like the live action series, there isn't much talking. But I think it's wonderful that Rowan Atkinson supplies what mumblings there is for Mr. Bean. And you've got to love his horrid landlady Mrs.Wicket when she yells "BEAN" at the top of her lungs. (She makes him do all the house and yard work and her grocery shopping; does she give him a break on the rent?!) The plots are terrific.
The animation style is brilliant. Very refreshing. Kind of a retro style with regards to the simplified backgrounds. Really nice colors. The trees are like the ones in Looney Tunes or Pink Panther cartoons. The characters are superbly drawn, capturing the rubbery facial expressions of Rowan Atkinson. I like the heavy outlines on the characters to set them off from the backgrounds, and I find it amusing that their feet aren't attached to their legs, lol.
Mr. Bean "Learn How To Play Piano"
Mr. Bean "Having a Piano Lesson"
There are some clear differences between live action and animated "Mr. Bean" material, which is not a bad thing. "Mr. Bean: The Animated Series" has less of the realistic sitcom style that the original series has, and sometimes has more of a fantasy touch to it, an example being the episodes involving Bean having encounters with animals, definitely cartoon-style animals. Since this is a cartoon, it makes sense that it has more cartoon-style qualities. The show also has different theme music (piano music instead of choir music this time). The two also have their similarities. Like before, the humor here is pretty visual. The animated Mr. Bean does make more sounds and mumble more than the original live action version of the character does, but it's still mostly about the visual humor, and as a fan of the original series, it's a must watch series!
THE MUSIC
Mr. Bean features a choral theme tune written by Howard Goodall and performed by the Choir of Southwark Cathedral (later Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford).
The words sung during the title sequences are in Latin:
Ecce homo qui est faba – "Behold the man who is a bean" (sung at beginning)
Finis partis primae – "End of part one" (sung before the advertisement break)
Pars secunda – "Part two" (sung after the advertisement break)
Vale homo qui est faba – "Farewell, man who is a bean" (sung at end)
Watch "Ecce Homo Qui Est Faba"
The theme was later released on Goodall's album Choral Works. Goodall also wrote an accompanying music track for many episodes. The first episode of Mr. Bean did not feature the choral theme tune, but instead an up-beat instrumental piece, also composed by Howard Goodall, which was more an incidental tune than a theme. It was used while Bean drove between locations intimidating the blue Reliant, and as such, was sometimes heard in later episodes whenever Bean's nemesis is seen.

(Opening Ceremony of London 2012 Olympics)
Mr Bean featured in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics playing the Chariots of Fire theme (by Vangelis) with the London Sympony Orchestra. The arrangement for the event was by Howard Goodall.

"MISTY MOUNTAINS" (OST. THE HOBBIT: Unexpected Journey) - Song of the Lonely Mountain -
PIANO SHEETS & LYRICS
"Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold" is a poem found within the chapter "An Unexpected Party" of The Hobbit.
The song is called “Misty Mountains (Cold)” composed by Howard Shore, written by J. R. R. Tolkien. A song of returning to Erebor is sung by Thorin Oakenshield - the Heirs of Durin (Richard Armitage) & the dwarves during the Unexpected Party at Bag End. Neil Finn also sings a variation of the song entitled "Song of the Lonely Mountain" in the ending credits of the film.
Thorin Oakenshield
Thorin's harp... was a beautiful golden harp, and when Thorin struck it the music began all at once, so sudden and sweet that Bilbo forgot everything else, and was swept away into dark lands under strange moons, far over The Water and very far from his hobbit-hole under The Hill....
The dark filled all the room, and the fire died down, and the shadows were lost, and still they played on. And suddenly first one and then another began to sing as they played, deep-throated singing of the dwarves in the deep places of their ancient homes....

LYRICS of "MISTY MOUNTAINS" Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old, We must away, ere break of day, To seek our pale enchanted gold.
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells, In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells.
For ancient king and elvish lord There many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught, To hide in gems on hilt of sword.
On silver necklaces they strung The flowering stars, on crowns they hung The dragon-fire, on twisted wire They meshed the light of moon and sun.
Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old, We must away, ere break of day, To claim our long-forgotten gold.
Goblets they carved there for themselves, And harps of gold, where no man delves There lay they long, and many a song Was sung unheard by men or elves.
The pines were roaring on the heights, The wind was moaning in the night, The fire was red, it flaming spread, The trees like torches blazed with light.
The bells were ringing in the dale, And men looked up with faces pale. The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire, Laid low their towers and houses frail.
The mountain smoked beneath the moon. The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom. They fled the hall to dying fall Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.
Far over the Misty Mountains grim, To dungeons deep and caverns dim, We must away, ere break of day, To win our harps and gold from him!
The wind was on the withered heath, But in the forest stirred no leaf: There shadows lay be night or day, And dark things silent crept beneath.
The wind came down from mountains cold, And like a tide it roared and rolled. The branches groaned, the forest moaned, And leaves were laid upon the mould.
The wind went on from West to East; All movement in the forest ceased. But shrill and harsh across the marsh, Its whistling voices were released.
The grasses hissed, their tassels bent, The reeds were rattling--on it went. O'er shaken pool under heavens cool, Where racing clouds were torn and rent.
It passed the Lonely Mountain bare, And swept above the dragon's lair: There black and dark lay boulders stark, And flying smoke was in the air.
It left the world and took its flight Over the wide seas of the night. The moon set sale upon the gale, And stars were fanned to leaping light.
Under the Mountain dark and tall, The King has come unto his hall! His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall!
The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong. The heart is bold that looks on gold; The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells.
On silver necklaces they strung The light of stars, on crowns they hung The dragon-fire, from twisted wire The melody of harps they wrung.
The mountain throne once more is freed! O! Wandering folk, the summons heed! Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste! The king of freind and kin has need.
Now call we over the mountains cold, 'Come back unto the caverns old!' Here at the gates the king awaits, His hands are rich with gems and gold.
The king has come unto his hall Under the Mountain dark and tall. The Wyrm of Dread is slain and dead, And ever so our foes shall fall!
Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall, We must away, ere break of day Far over the wood and mountain tall.
To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell In glades beneath the misty fell. Through moor and waste we ride in haste, And whither then we cannot tell.
With foes ahead, behind us dread, Beneath the sky shall be our bed, Until at last our toil be passed, Our journey done, our errand sped.
We must away! We must away! We ride before the break of day!
