Summary |
Awaiting the birth of a newborn is such a special time. Robert and Clara Sheepman are expecting their first little lamb and all their musical friends are just as excited as they are. We join McHandel on his farm as he completes his chores-and his finest musical masterpiece-a piece to celebrate the birth with a little help from his friends. Bela Bardog and Benjamin Kitten, his closest companions, are joined by Felix Mendelswan, Goosetav Mahler and other classically inspired musical characters as they work together to finish a piece to celebrate the birth of the baby lamb. If you love the music of Handel and you want to inspire your youngest musician too you will love this book. Old McHandel is a delightful story written by a classical musician and illustrated by a pediatric opthamologist. It stresses the importance of music, creativity and cooperation. A short but concise glossary of the terms and the notable classical composers that appear on the pages of the book are included. "Old McHandel & His Musical Farm" was inspired by Handel's Messiah and it will inspire your youngest musician and teach them more about composers, musical terms and changes in music through the ages. Perfect for young musicians and older music lovers |
