All Beautiful & Splendid Things

Poetry + Music - inspiring! In this collection, Barbara Arens was inspired by poetry to write expressive, romantic, lyrical music. In her 'Rendezvous with Midnight', the pieces are prefixed by poetry to set the scene. Here the poetry is actually woven into the music, syllable for syllable. The pieces can actually be sung, but the idea is more to read the poetry silently whilst playing, which results in more expression! Poems by Sara Teasdale, Anne Brontë, Christina Rossetti and others. This is a revised edition of the collection formerly published by Editions Musica Ferrum London. Approx. Grades 4-6 / Late Intermediate.
