Pay
tribute to your school
with this imaginative
musical portrait of the
school day as viewed by
typical students through
the inspired genius of
composer Richard Meyer.
Six creative musical
interludes portray the
subjects of the school
day (History, Math,
English, Physical
Education, Science, and
Orchestra), each
introduced with a short
poem read by a narrator.
The delightful poems were
written by middle-school
students and offer
amusing and enlightening
insights into their
encounters with the
wonders (and perils) of
education. The subjects
are linked together by
brief and hectic musical
passing periods based on
the Promenade from
Mussorgsky's famous
Pictures at an
Exhibition. Use the poems
included or, for a
wonderful writing prompt,
have your students
compose their own! School
is the perfect piece for
an assembly, a concert
for the parents, or a
recruiting tour.
