SUMMARY

Composers, well-known & some not-so-well-known, come alive as real & believable people for children ages 6-16. Based on extensive research & study of the composers' lives & their milieu but without use of excessive dates, pedantic factual material or musicological jargon, each story sets the emotional tone of the life of each musician, beginning with early childhood. The books are set in large type & wide margins, with portraits of composers, a birthday calendar, & recorded sources of composers' works. --"delightful & charming introduction to the world of music composition & performance" --"gives a feel for some of the exciting common threads that run through the lives of extraordinarily gifted musicians" --"communicates the essence of a composer's life in a warmly, perceptive, quiet way" --"Vividly fleshed out each life" --"careful research has been done."--Susan Grille, music educator, SAA Journal. "Composers are introduced as children, who, like the young readers, take music lessons, have brothers & sisters, & get excited over special events. It eavesdrops on conversations between the composer as a child & his parents & draws the reader into the setting, the lifestyle, & the attitudes of the day."--Phyllis Young, Professor of Cello, American String Teachers Journal.
