Factory
Child is a protest
song against child
sweatshops. The piece
depicts the factory life
of children laboring many
hours a day and
manufacturing the shoes
and clothes that end up
in American retail
stores. Young performers
will find this
thought-provoking piece
an excellent way to use
their musical voice to
affect change. Factory
Child is a protest song
against child sweatshops.
Written in memory of Mrs.
Peterson, who loved
children dearly, the
piece depicts the factory
life of children laboring
16+ hours a day,
manufacturing the shoes
and clothes that end up
in American retail
stores.Factory Child
begins with factory
sounds and an oppressive,
repetitive pattern that
supports the melody
carried by the upper
voices. The second
section is composed of
wistful, dream-like
sounds and melodies that
have traces of
children’s songs
that remind us that these
children forced into
labor would love to have
the opportunity to play,
attend school, and dream,
but cannot and
realistically have little
hope for a life we
consider normal. The
middle section gives way
to more sounds from the
factory. The climax is a
raucous circus-like waltz
using themes from both
sections.The percussion
parts can be covered by
six players. Some players
will need to cover two
parts. Use someone from
the wind section if you
do not have six, as some
of the parts, although
important, are not very
difficult. The second
clarinet never goes over
the break and the bass
line is usually doubled
in the euphonium as well
as in the low reeds.This
piece is an excellent way
for young performers to
use their musical voice
to affect change. It is a
great discussion starter
for researching where our
apparel comes from and
why to stay away from
some brands. It can also
make students aware of
the fantastic opportunity
they have to attend
school that children in
other parts of the world
do not. Young students
will find this piece very
thought provoking.Ed
