Album Description
The only CD of it's kind to provide both spoken poetry and classical piano music for children and adults. Contains 33 tracks of poetry with sound effects and piano music for children by 23 master composers and authors from around the world. From Bach to Brahms to Bartok and Mozart to Mendelssohn to Mother Goose, these selections are originally intended for children. Works included span the last 200 years. Some of the poetry includes works by Robert Louis Stevenson, Christina Rossetti and Kate Greenaway. The selections are arranged so that first 15 tracks of the recording contain soothing selections such as imagery filled poems, a nocturne, and lullabyes with the next 18 tracks being more energetic containing rhythmic poetry, marches and dances and even ragtime. Each poetry section gently leads the listener into it's paired musical selection.
