Benjamin Britten was a famous English composer whose name is known in many countries of the world.
He was born in 1913. He was only five when he started to play the piano and to compose music. By the time he was nineteen, he was already both a musician for a film company and a composer. He wrote music for the plays of several English writers.
Benjamin Britten also wrote songs and operas for children. He wrote a piece of music called “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra”. It can be taken as a handbook on all the instruments of the orchestra. A teacher can use this music to teach children how to understand each of the instruments in an orchestra.
He was a good pianist and conductor too. Benjamin Britten wrote music mainly for voices, including operas, for example,”Peter Grimes”.
In 1962 Benjamin Britten finished a very big musical work the “War Requiem”. The composer shows in it how much he wanted peace for all people. He became vice-president of the peace organization of musicians. So, you see, he did not only write music, compose operas and symphonies. He also took an active part in the struggle for peace.

T: And now let us read the text in which Olga Doctorova, a young girl, tells us about her preferences in music. (Тексты распечатаны для каждого ученика).

Close to one’s soul – близкая по душе;
Age – возраст;
Mad – сумасшедший;
Crowd – толпа;
Relaxing – расслабляющий;
to cope with nervousness – справляться с нервами;
to feel calm and satisfied – чувствовать спокойствие и удовлетворение;
modern remakes of classics – современные римейки на классическую музыку;
hate – ненавидеть.

a) Read the text:

Olga Doctorova
“English” newspaper.

I love classical music. Maybe, it’s because of nine years inside the musical school; but I’ve found this music the closest to my soul. Most people of my age would think I’m mad, because I love Strauss, Mozart and Bach in place of psychedelic rock and angry, loud punk bands. My friend often says; “It’s much easier and fun to be with the crowd.” I would agree with her… but why must I be like somebody else and not somebody else be like me?
I found classical music relaxing. As many psychologists say: Bach helps to cope with nervousness; Vivaldy is excellent to make people feel calm and satisfied. Why do many people find it to be dull? Why dull? To talk about classical music as a whole there’s many modern remakes of classics. For example, I like the way Vanessa – Mae plays.
It’s not true that I hate all modern music. I have a few pop and rock songs that I like; but I think all this music can’t be called great.

b) Complete these sentences according to the text.

1. Maybe, Olga loves classical music because ….
2. She’s found this music …. .
3. Olga asks: “Why must I be like somebody else and not …?”
4. Olga finds classical music … .
5. As many psychologists say Vivaldy makes people… .
6. Olga has a few pop and rock songs that she likes; but she thinks all this music … .

c) Answer the questions:

• What kind of music does Olga like?
• Why does she like classical music?
• Music of what composers does she listen to?
• Why does she like music of Bach, Vivaldy ?

T: As a conclusion, I’d like to say that music is the universal language of mankind. It’s true. Musicians all over the world understand each other with the help of music. The words may not be known, but melody is clear to all people. Music has a great power. It helps them to understand each other. Music is the universal language of mankind. Listen to classical music!
