An Introduction to Classical Music.
This magical treat, by Ana Gerhard, cleverly combines music, illustrations and brief notes on the subjects that stir children's imaginations as they listen to hear how composers weave ideas and sounds into their music. Using a wide variety of musical styles from all eras creates ear-opening experiences for transitions, listening activities, music centers...subs love them, too! Includes a glossary, short bios of featured composers, and a CD of 20 musical excerpts. Ages 6-10.
Haydn's Frog String Quartet, Prokofiev's March of the Grasshoppers, Vaughan Williams' The Wasps, Beethoven's Song of the Flea & more.
