Antonin Dvorak, From the New World with Lyrics (Book and CD)

Antonin Dvorak, From the New World by Marjorie Kiel Persons

Children learn both music and lyrics easily, and when these tunes move to long-term memory, they are embedded for life. Dvorak's endearing and powerful Symphony No. 9, entitled From the New World, is made accessible to children with this book and CD set. Learn 12 themes from Dvorak's New World Symphony by singing the tunes using original lyrics describing Dvorak's life. The book covers 3 themes for each movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony. The included CD has 2 tracks for each theme: the first with music only, and the second with music plus lyrics. The book also includes a portrait of Dvorak, a kid-friendly biography of Dvorak in prose, notation of the melody line only of each theme (with lyrics printed below), and reproducible transparency masters of the lyrics for each theme with illustrations. When children have learned all 12 themes, they will be able to listen intelligently and joyfully to the complete orchestral recording of the symphony at the end of the CD. A Listening Guide for all 4 movements of the orchestrated version is also included.
