The Story Orchestra: The Planets
Jessica Courtney Tickle
Description
Discover the spellbinding magic of The Planets in this musical reimagining of one of Holst's most famous suites.
This tale is about a brother and sister who adventure deep into our solar system. They soar past the cold rocky surface of Mars as it rises into towering peaks and plunges into deep canyons and glide through a bumpy asteroid belt made of icy rocks. They blast deeper into our solar system, exploring the dazzling stars and astounding planets along the way. As you and your little one journey through the magical scenes, you will press the buttons to hear10 excerpts from the score.
At the back of the book, find a short biography of the composer, Gustav Holst, with details about his composition of The Planets. Next to this, you can replay the musical excerpts and, for each of them, read a discussion of the instruments, rhythms and musical techniques that make them so powerful. A glossary defines musical terms.
Recommended for ages 5+.
