Opis

The poems and story vignettes that make up Magic In Music take the reader on a journey of exploration into music and dance. They examine the roots of music in American folk and popular culture focusing on the musical traditions of European and African Americans, and seek to help the reader discover the meaning and power of music. The chapters in Magic In Music consider the traditions that make up American music and dance, music in nature, and selected musicians and dancers from Master Juba to Pete Seeger. The pen and ink illustrations by Janet Jones complement the written pieces and range from depicting whimsical creatures to true-to-life drawings. Music and dance have the ability to inspire, heal, and create community, and certainly these are magical qualities. The poems reflect on the nature of music in the world around us and in our lives. The writings and illustrations encourage participation in music. You too can sing, dance, play, and feel the magic.
