Discover the spellbinding magic of Swan Lake in this musical
retelling of the ballet - push the button on each beautiful scene
to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing from Tchaikovsky's
score. This tale of a prince, a beautiful swan princess and an evil
sorcerer begins in a woodland clearing far, far away. It is Prince
Siegfried's 21st birthday. He is playing games with his friends
when his mother, the Queen, arrives to tell him he needs to stop
having fun and start looking after the kingdom. Prince Siegfried
dreams of running away. He follows an enchanting flock of swans to
a clearing by a lake, where four of the little cygnets begin to
dance. The most beautiful swan transforms into the Princess Odette,
who tells him that she has been cursed to turn into a swan by day
and return to her natural form at night by the evil sorcerer Von
Rothbart. As the prince and Odette dance, they begin to fall in
love. The story follows Prince Siegfried as he attends his birthday
party, is tricked into proposing to Von Rothbart's daughter Odile
and returns to the lake to battle the evil sorcerer. Will the
prince be reunited with his swan princess? As you and your little
one journey through the magical scenes, you will press the buttons
to hear 10 excerpts from the ballet's music. Readers should press
firmly on the pages to activate the sounds, encouraging interactive
learning and introducing children to this beautiful piece of music.
At the back of the book, find a short biography of the composer,
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, with details about his composition of
Swan Lake. Next to this, you can replay the musical excerpts and,
for each of them, read a discussion of the instruments, rhythms and
musical techniques that make them so powerful. A glossary defines
musical terms. The Story Orchestra series brings classical music to
life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of
classic ballet, opera and program music stories paired with
10-second sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical
scores. With The Story Orchestra keyboard sound books, children can
play the famous melodies themselves with the sound of a real grand
piano. Also available from the Story Orchestra series: The Magic
Flute, I Can Play (vol 1), Carnival of the Animals, The Sleeping
Beauty, The Nutcracker and Four Seasons in One Day. Manufacturer's
note: please pull the white tab out of the back of the book before
use. Sound buttons require a firm push in exact location to work,
which may be hard for young children. All sound clips are 10
seconds long. The perfect primer to introduce children to classical
music.
