Description
"Diane Ingraham Barnes, a highly regarded teacher who has spent a lifetime devoted to music, has assembled this beautiful collection of songs and commentaries that should be an important addition to any classroom or library. From the tender wholeness of the mood of the fifth, to the expansive pentatonic, to enlivening folk tunes and the diatonic profusion stretching from silliness and joy, to sorrow and profundity, a foundation is laid for the blossoming of harmony and polyphony. In this collection, one can trace the musical odyssey of children's development through the grades as they prepare their bodily instruments for sounding the soul and spirit." ------Gayle Davis, Rudolf Steiner College
