From the producer of the Emmy award-winning Beethoven Lives Upstairs, these engaging PBS videos have won many accolades: 'Best of 1995 Video Picks' (Parents Magazine), '10 Best New Kids' Shows' (TV Guide), & more. In fictionalized story form, each video presents the composer's music in the context of his life. The stories are a wonderful vehicle to introduce classical music to young children, personalizing the lives of the composers within the historical and social milieu of the period.
In Handel's Last Chance, when the composer rescues a young Dubliner in trouble, the boy returns the favor by lending his golden voice to the first performance of Messiah.
