[hap id=”0″ active_playlist=”5″]
Music selection and explanatory notes by Ana Gerhard Illustrations by Margarita Sada
The works of Vivaldi, Beethoven, Debussy, and others are introduced to children by demonstrating how water—from the sea, rivers, fountains, rainfall and so forth—has inspired the composers. An original and exciting way for younger listeners to discover awe-inspiring classical music, this book pairs three centuries of music history with stunning and evocative illustrations. A glossary of musical terms and a short biography of each composer are included along with a CD featuring 20 excerpts from various recordings performed by world-class luminaries, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra and the Lyon National Orchestra.
