IN FRENCH. A children's guidebook to the fantastical characters and creatures found in classical music. The works of Vivaldi, Beethoven, Debussy, and others are introduced to children by demonstrating how waterÂthe sea, rivers, fountains, and rainfallÂhas inspired the composers. An original and interesting way for younger listeners to discover amazing classical music, this book pairs three centuries of music history with stunning and evocative illustrations. The accompanying CD features 20 excerpts from various recordings performed by world-class luminaries, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, La Scala Chorus and Orchestra, and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. A glossary of musical terms and a short biography of each composer are also included.
