Merry Pranks of Master Till CD
The medieval tales about a boy named Till are set to Richard Strauss's classic tone poem, Til Eulenspiegel. Playing time is 47:54. ~Amber
The Story: Till is a very clever young man, perhaps too clever for his own good. He plays tricks on people to show them that they may not be as high and mighty as they think. Twisting the words of professors and bakers, tailors and priests, he travels the countryside. In the end, however, Till discovers that the world has little patience for his antics. These medieval tales are true social commentary.
The Extras: A performance of the original tone poem without the narration. A child-friendly, spoken biography of Richard Strauss, the composer. A little-know version of the piece for violin, clarinet, horn, bassoon, and bass. A 24-page activity booklet with musical information and games and beautiful illustrations by noted children's book illustrator Giles Laroche.
In the same vein as "Peter and the Wolf," this series of audios does more than just tell a story. They are classic stories accompanied by professional, high quality music. The London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Stephen Simon give the feeling of being present and captures the emotion and tone of each story. As you listen to the music and story, children and adults alike will be drawn into the musical experience. Each CD is accompanied by a small booklet that includes author information; performer and instrument background; some activities such as a word search or crack-the-code; or a cross word puzzle, and a track guide. The audio includes the story and music along with other tracks that tell about the music, composer, author, and an opportunity to learn a song or dance and perform. This series is more than just a story or music; it's an education as you listen to 'Stories in Music,' to be enjoyed by the whole family. Please note that the CD format is being phased out and replaced by Download Cards. These provide the purchaser access to download all of the audio tracks from the CD in MP3 format, and the 24-page CD insert/activity book in PDF format.
