Claves are musical instruments of Cuban origin. The first claves used were on the docks and shipyards of Havana where simple wooden pegs were clacked together to accompany the rhythms of songs played by dock workers. The claves functioned like rhythmic guides to the song; they began by organizing the rhythmic accompaniment of the music. As time passed, the amount of adapters of the claves and performers increased. Claves are often used to play a repeating rhythmic figure throughout a piece and it is also found in African and Brazilian music. The claves are used in virtually all Cuban music genres, and has since been universalized. Today, this instrument is commonly used in many musical genres. Children can easily learn to play our IQ Plus wooden claves by simply strike one stick against the other. Holding the clave on top of gripped fingers makes the sound more clear. This instrument will teach children the basic rhythmic patterns of any type of music. Children will enjoy exploring different ways to play them, holding them differently, even tapping them against the floor. The claves do not have specific pitches and the resulting sounds may vary while the instrument is being played. Children will learn how to modulate sounds based on where the clave is struck.

It is believed that the first bongo drums were used in Cuba during the late 19th century. They were used for the music styles called Changui amd Son. This music originated with equal influences from both the African and Spanish cultures that lived in Cuba during that time. It eventually evolved into today's Salsa. Bongos are made of two differently-sized drums that are attached to one another. The larger one is called the “hembra” (meaning female in Spanish) and the smaller one is called the “macho” (meaning male). Tuned to varying pitches, the two are played together to create different tones and rhythms within a musical piece. Children can enjoy playing the IQ Plus Bongos by clamping it between their legs, adjusting the macho to lean against one thigh, hembra angles down against the opposite calf, and start making music by striking the drums with the pads of their fingertips. The bongos are one of the most popular instruments for beginner percussion players as it is one of the easiest to learn. Children will be able to enjoy creating different rhythms and sounds along with other percussion instruments as part of a band, or they can play individually as well! Features: •Constructed of environmentally friendly rubber wood •Equipped with premium buffalo skin heads •Durable and light weight, easy for children to hold and play.

Followin g the Renaissance volume, this time it is Baroque works (more precisely, transcriptions of Baroque vocal and instrumental works) that are presented in the Leggierissimo series, extending the repertoire of junior string orchestras. Roughly half of the selection consists of well-known pieces by the greatest composers of the period (Purcell: Dido and Aeneas, Rameau: Pi ces de clavecin, Händel: Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks, J.S. Bach: B major partita, C major orchestral suite), but works by composers less well known nowadays (for example, G. Böhm and J. C. F. Fischer) are also included, together with such unusual items as Polish, German and Hungarian dancesfrom 17th- and 18th-century Hungarian manuscripts: the Kájoni and Vietórisz codexes, and Eleonóra Lányi s music book.

Nach dem Renaissance-Band erscheint die Leggierissimo-Serie nunmehr mit Barockwerken (genauer: mit Transkriptionen nach vokalen und instrumentalen Barockwerken), die das Repertoire der Kinderstreichorchestern erweitert. Etwa die Hälfte der Sammlung machen die Stücke der allgemein bekannten Werke der größten Komponisten der Epoche (H. Purcell: Dido und Aeneas, J. Ph. Rameau: Pi ces de clavecin, G. F. Händel: Wassermusik, Feuerwerksmusik, J. S. Bach: Partita B-Dur, Ouverture C-Dur) aus. Es kommen in ihr aber auch Stücke von heute weniger bekannten Komponisten (G. Böhm, J. C. F. Fischer u.a.), daneben als Besonderheit polnische, deutsche und ungarische Tänze aus dem 17. und 18.Jahrhundert aus dem Kájoni- und Vietórisz-Kodizes und aus dem Notenbuch der Eleonora Lányi vor.

Here is a lovely setting of the traditional Oh Chanuka melody, but with a new twist: Bernofsky takes motives from the melody and spins them into a fugue. You'll be amazed how such easily-playable parts come together to make a truly impressive effect. Sounds like real symphonic music!
