Musical Interpretation of and Instructional Module on Ross Ice Shelf Wave-Induced Vibrations

作曲家兼音乐教授格伦·麦克卢尔将把研究罗斯冰架移动的研究员彼得·布罗米尔斯基博士获得的亚音速频率数据转换成人类可以听到的音乐频率，从而创作出管弦乐和合唱音乐作品。麦克卢尔还将录制可听的环境声音，这将增强他的构图，并在他完成的作品的现场表演中拍摄视频和静止图像供投影。其目的是传递音乐所基于的科学概念的艺术体验，并传达罗斯冰架条件变化的影响的情感体验。除了他的作曲，麦克卢尔还将创建一个教学模块，目标是使中学生有能力根据科学数据集创作他们自己的音乐作品。该项目与普通公众和教育界相关，作为一种新的激励教学工具，适用于一般科学，特别是南极洲。交付内容将包括乐谱、排练录音、现场表演伴奏视频、作曲家笔记以及南极资源的链接，以供进一步研究。教育产品将包括艺术综合教学模块、在线实践社区、其他在线资源和一个庆祝学生优秀作品的平台。麦克卢尔已经确定了除了YouTube视频和其他外展机会外，他的作品现场表演的多个潜在传播渠道。

Glenn McClure, a composer and professor of music, will create an orchestral and choral musical composition by translating subsonic frequency data, obtained by the researcher Dr. Peter Bromirski studying the shifting Ross Ice Shelf, into musical frequencies within the range of human hearing. McClure will also record audible ambient sounds that will enhance his composition as well as take video and still images for projection during live performances of his finished piece. The goal is to deliver an artistic experience of the scientific concepts the music is based on and convey an emotional experience of the effects of changing conditions of the Ross Ice Shelf. In addition to his composition, McClure will create an instructional module with the goal of empowering middle-school students with the ability to create their own musical works from scientific data sets.The project holds relevance for the general public and the educational community as a new motivational instructional tool for science, in general, and Antarctica, specifically. The deliverables will include sheet music, rehearsal recordings, videos to accompany live performances, composer's notes and links to Antarctic resources for extended study. The educational products will include the arts integrated instructional module, an online community of practice, other online resources, and a platform to celebrate exemplary student work. McClure has identified multiple potential dissemination channels for live performances of his compositions in addition to YouTube videos and other outreach opportunities.
