12 Poems by Judith G. Wolf for Countertenor, Cello, and Orchestra. Par FUCHS KENNETH. This piece, along with three others, earned the composer a Grammy for the 2018 Best Classical Compendium. Composer's program note excerpt: Judith G. Wolf's expressive poems take us on a memorable journey through everyday life, the support of family and friends, the joy of love, and the pain of grief and loss. I was moved by her work to compose Poems of Life, an orchestral song cycle that sets to music twelve poems from Wolf's most recent volume of poetry, Otherwise. The poems weave a narrative of eternal love, the pain of loss through death, emotional transformation through grief, and spiritual enlightenment. CONTENTS: Prologue 1. Ethereal 2.

In this new Micromusical adaption the abridged story is told through poetry and song.TestimonialsThe micro-musicals have enriched our curriculum and have enabled the topics taught in class to come alive. Through the micro-musicals the children have gained a deeper and broader understanding of the curriculum and have developed a bank of rich language which has supported their writing outcomes. The micro-musicals have provided an excellent opportunity to teach music through all areas of the curriculum and we have been able to use music as a platform to learn history science geography and literature. They have been a good value for money and a valuable resource.-Bronwen Chalmers Head Teacher Davies Lane Primary School
