이순재 오보에 연주자 변신

드라마 '베토벤 바이러스' 합류

배우 이순재가 오보에 연주자로 나선다.

이순재는 최근 MBC 새 수목 미니시리즈 < 베토벤 바이러스 > (극본 홍진아,홍자람ㆍ연출 이재규)에 합류를 결정했다. 지난 6월 종영된 MBC 사극 < 이산 > 에서 하차한 이후 근 반년 만에 MBC로 복귀하게 된 셈이다.

극중 이순재가 맡은 배역은 오보에 연주자 김갑용. 서울시립교향악단의 원년 멤버로 실력이 월등했지만 나이를 이유로 현업에서 물러나야 했던 인물이다. 정년 퇴직 후에도 음악에 대한 열정을 버리지 못하고 연주를 이어오던 찰나에 오케스트라 단원 모집 공고를 보고 마지막 정열을 불태울 기회를 얻게 된다. MBC측 관계자는 "이순재는 명실공히 최고의 배우다. 최고의 실력을 지녔지만 많은 나이 때문에 고뇌하는 인물로 적격이라 판단했다"고 캐스팅 이유를 전했다.

현재 이순재는 KBS 2TV 주말극 < 엄마가 뿔났다 > (극본 김수현ㆍ연출 정을영)에 출연 중이다. < 베토벤 바이러스 > 와 겹치기 촬영이 불가피하다. 이순재측 관계자는 " < 베토벤 바이러스 > 의 촬영 초반에는 두 가지 일정을 모두 소화해야 한다. 하지만 < 엄마가 뿔났다 > 의 녹화 분량이 많지 않아 큰 부담은 없다"고 말했다.

< 베토벤 바이러스 > 는 오케스크라를 결성하고 고군분투하는 단원들의 감동적인 이야기를 그린다. < 대~한민국 변호사 > 의 후속으로, 오는 9월3일 첫 방송될 예정이다.

===

An orchestra is an instrumental ensemble, usually fairly large with string, brass, woodwind sections, and possibly a percussion section as well. The term orchestra derives from the name for the area in front of an ancient Greek stage reserved for the Greek chorus. The orchestra grew by accretion throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but changed very little in composition during the course of the twentieth century.

A smaller orchestra (of about forty players or fewer) is called a chamber orchestra.

A full size orchestra (about 100 players) may sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or "philharmonic orchestra"; these prefixes do not necessarily indicate any strict difference in either the instrumental constitution or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different ensembles based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra). A symphony orchestra will usually have over eighty musicians on its roster, in some cases over a hundred, but the actual number of musicians employed in a particular performance may vary according to the work being played and the size of the venue. A leading chamber orchestra might employ as many as fifty musicians; some are much smaller than that

Instrumentation

Apo Hsu and the NTNU Symphony Orchestra on stage in the National Concert Hall in Taipei, TaiwanThe typical symphony orchestra consists of four proportionate groups of similar musical instruments, generally appearing in the musical score in the following order:

Woodwinds: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon (double bassoon)

Brass: 2 to 8 horns, 2 to 5 trumpets, 2 trombones, 1 bass trombone and 0 to 2 tubas

Percussion: timpani, snare drum, tenor drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, wood block, tambourine, marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, glockenspiel, gong (tam-tam), tubular bells, etc.

Strings: harp(s), 16 to 30 violins, 8 to 12 violas, 8 to 12 violoncellos (cellos), and 5 to 8 double basses.

The Instruments marked in boldface are considered the "core" symphonic instruments, required in all but the rarest cases. Other instruments listed above are considered auxiliary instruments and are less frequently required, but still referred to as standard. Late 19th century symphonic works calling for all the auxiliary instruments, as well as an augmented number of strings, usually include the phrase "for large orchestra" in their full titles.

Beethoven’s influence

The so-called "standard complement" of double winds and brass in the orchestra from the first half of the 19th century is generally attributed to the forces called for by Beethoven. The exceptions to this are his Fourth Symphony and Violin Concerto, which each specify a single flute.

Expanded instrumentation

Apart from the core orchestral complement, various other instruments are called for occasionally. These include the saxophone, heckelphone, flugelhorn, cornet, harpsichord, and organ. Saxophones, for example, appear in a limited range of 19th and 20th century scores. While appearing only as featured solo instruments in some works, for example Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, the saxophone is included in other works, such as Ravel's Bolero and Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, as a member of the orchestral ensemble. The euphonium is featured in a few late Romantic and 20th century works, usually playing parts marked "tenor tuba", including Holst's The Planets, and Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben. Cornets appear in Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake, Debussy's La Mer, and several orchestral works by Hector Berlioz. Unless these instruments are played by members doubling on another instrument (for example, a trombone player changing to euphonium for a certain passage), orchestras will use freelance musicians to augment their regular rosters.

Organization

Lorin Maazel conductingAmong the instrument groups and within each group of instruments, there is a generally accepted hierarchy. Every instrumental group (or section) has a principal who is generally responsible for leading the group and playing orchestral solos. The violins are divided into two groups, first violin and second violin, each with its principal. The principal first violin is called the concertmaster (or "leader" in the UK) and is considered the leader of not only the string section, but of the entire orchestra, subordinate only to the conductor.

The principal trombone is considered the leader of the low brass section, while the principal trumpet is generally considered the leader of the entire brass section. Similarly, the principal oboe is considered the leader of the woodwind section, and is the player to whom all others tune. The horn, while technically a brass instrument, often acts in the role of both woodwind and brass. Most sections also have an assistant principal (or co-principal or associate principal), or in the case of the first violins, an assistant concertmaster, who often plays a tutti part in addition to replacing the principal in his or her absence.

A section string player plays unison with the rest of the section, except in the case of divided (divisi) parts, where upper and lower parts in the music are often assigned to "outside" (nearer the audience) and "inside" seated players. Where a solo part is called for in a string section, for example in the violins, the section leader invariably plays that part. Tutti wind and brass players generally play a unique but non-solo part. Section percussionists play parts assigned to them by the principal percussionist.

In modern times, the musicians are usually directed by a conductor, although early orchestras did not have one, using instead the concertmaster or the harpsichordist playing the continuo for this role. Some modern orchestras also do without conductors, particularly smaller orchestras and those specialising in historically accurate performances of baroque music and earlier.

The most frequently performed repertoire for a symphony orchestra is Western classical music or opera. However, orchestras are sometimes used in popular music, and are used extensively in film music.

Kim Myung-min unveils his new curly-top hairstyle for his upcoming role as an orchestra conductor in Beethoven Virus. The classical-music-themed drama also stars Lee Jia as a violinist and Jang Geun-seok as a trumpet player; not loving the casting, but Kim Myung-min will blow them out of the water anyway.

The drama starts filming July 14 and is scheduled to air its first episode on MBC on September 3.
