Which famous German composer started the first lawsuit over the
copyright of his music? What famous queen received a marriage
proposal from a young Amadeus Mozart? (Hint: the French
Revolution). Can you name another German composer who renounced his
Judaism and fully embraced the Christian faith? Did you know that
Dvorak's New World Symphony caused much controversy over its
origin?
In our first book, Godly Composers, we chose men who sought
after glorifying God through their music. In this second composer
book we do not present the composers in the same light. Some of
these musicians honored God and some did not. The purpose of this
work is to present the lives of four composers to help you teach
your children to enjoy their music. Color the Classics II includes
the biographies of the great composers: Telleman, Mozart,
Mendelssohn, and Dvorak.
How the Program
Works
- Have the child start coloring or painting an illustration.
- Take the information from the book that describes that
illustration and retell this information as a story.
- Play the music that belongs to the illustration.
- Have the children finish the picture.
- This multi-sensory approach will lock the experience in your
child's mind.
The original purchasers of these books have the right to
reproduce the illustrations for use with their own children
only.
(Total time for Composers II CD: approx. 70 minutes)
