Belles Bestioles: Initiation À La Musique Classique (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9782924774571)

The works of Beethoven, Ravel, Prokofiev, and others are introduced to children by demonstrating how insects, arachnids, and amphibians, such as spiders, wasps, butterflies, frogs, and snakes, have inspired the composers. This book pairs five centuries of music history with stunning and evocative illustrations of these fascinating little creatures. A glossary of musical terms and a short biography of each composer are included along with a CD (plus a unique code for the digital download) of 20 excerpts from various recordings performed by world-class luminaries, including the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Liverpool Philharmonic, and the Nashville Symphony.
