My 11 y/o and I visited the web site Classics for Kids on Monday, where we learned about several composers who conjured up some spooky-sounding music! Actually, we learned about one in particular and are saving the others for later in the week. We listened to the Classics for Kids show about Igor Stravinsky...Igor is rather an appropriate name, don't you think?
Stravinsky composed that controversial piece, The Firebird. Back in Stravinski's time, this style of music was considered quite shocking as, up until that period, the music was melodic and sweet and didn't have the whirling quality of songs like The Firebird.
