Daydreams and Lullabies - CD with music and poems by Classical Kids

While visiting a Grade 3-4 classroom, Susan Hammond (creator Classical Kids) suggested the students write poetry to Vivaldi�s Piccolo Concerto. To help them find their images, Susan explained how the high piccolo and low string bass created a sense of spaciousness. Her only words to them: Try to capture that feeling of being caught between earth and sky.
What happened next seemed indeed a small miracle. The children refused to go out to lunch and, one by one, stood and read their vivid words over the music. All of them -students & teacher fell silent. Each poem poured naturally into the next like the phrases in the music. Each breath-taking image belonged utterly and heightened the experience of the Piccolo Concerto beyond anything they could have dreamed. These ordinary children were reading their own extraordinary words with a sensitivity to rhythm, mood and phrase that any professional actor would envy.

The story of this recording is a vivid testament to the performing, interpreting and writing skills of children today. This CD holds the poems written by 8-10 year olds. The music, a combination of traditional songs and rounds and exquisite classical compositions, is performed by a mixed children's choir of 10-15 year olds and the words are spoken by non-professional, untrained voices of 6-12 year olds.
Use Daydreams and Lullabies to inspire and challenge your children or simply as a gentle recording to bring peace and tranquility to your home.
