New CD Takes Classical Music to Where It’s Never Gone Before
“Classical Fun Sing-A-Longs” CD Waltzes Into Stores August 31, 2004.
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) August 9, 2004 -- Ever wonder if there could exist
lyrics to Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee? You’ve likely giddy-upped to
Rossini’s William Tell Overture, but did you ever think to actually sing out the
words “Giddy-up?” And ever in your wildest dreams could you picture a family car
outing with everyone singing along to Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata? Well imagine
no more. It’s now reality thanks to a unique new CD from the Classical Fun Music
company, creators of the award winning “A to Z Symphony” DVD.
“Classical
Fun Sing-A-Longs,” is a CD collection of 25 original children’s songs set to
highlights of symphonic masterpieces by history’s greatest composers, including
Strauss, Bach and Mozart. Delightful, easy-to-learn lyrics match the varied
tempos of each piece. Children will have so much fun singing-along; they won’t
realize they’re secretly learning some of the richest and most valuable melodies
in music!
Recommended for ages 0-5, the 55-minute “Classical Fun
Sing-A-Longs” CD will be available August 31, 2004 for a suggested retail price
of $14.95.
Ride along with Wagner’s Valkyries as you sing out “We’re
faster than sound/Our engines afire/We soar through the sky/And fly into space!”
Partake in the grace of Tchaikovsky’s Swans on the Lake as you sing “Oh look at
all the beautiful/ swans gliding so gracefully/Oh look at all the
beautiful/swans dancing so happily.” And, for the parent set, proudly parlay
Pomp and Circumstance with “Your Mommy and Daddy/Show you everyday/How you can
be healthy/Smart happy and safe/Your Mommy and Daddy/Love you
everyday.”
Parents and children alike can delight in the sing-a-longs as
well as the additional 25 instrumentals of each offered on the CD. The title and
composer of each piece is introduced before each instrumental and identified in
the included lyrics book.
