inches. Darius Milhaud,
with English Text by
Jeremy
Drake.
Composed by
French master Darius
Milhaud in 1932, this
collection of humorous
children's songs is now
available for the first
time with English lyrics.
At the time they were
composed, radio and
phonograph technology
were causing the primary
musical leisure activity
to shift from actual
music making to
listening. Milhaud
believed that if amateurs
were provided with
accessible music, they
would be encouraged to
continue playing music
for recreation, thus
reversing the trend.
These delightful songs
are excellent for young
treble choirs in school
and community and
include: A Little
Test, Skipping Song,
Reading Lesson, The Luck
of the Draw, Miss
Spectacles, Mea Culpa,
The Monitor Alexander,
Deserved Praise, The
Argument, The Orchestra
of the Obedient Students,
The Orchestra of the
Mischievous Students,
Final Chorus: In Praise
of Computers.
