{"product_id":"dance-sing-listen","title":"Dance, Sing \u0026 Listen","description":"Liner Note Author: Martha Hill.\u003cbr\u003e1962's Dance, Sing \u0026amp; Listen marks Bruce Haack's debut as a children's composer. The first part of the Dance, Sing \u0026amp; Listen series, the album includes medieval, country, classical, and pop styles in its embrace, interpreting the songs with a mix of electronic and acoustic instruments. From the boogie-woogie of \"Introduction\" to the electronic-classical hybrid of \"Medieval Dances,\" Haack's wide-ranging musical vision has free reign on Dance, Sing \u0026amp; Listen. \"Sunflowers\" is an activity song in which children imagine they are sunflowers, from seed to bloom; behind Esther Nelson's instructions, Haack provides fizzy, bubbling keyboard effects, a vaguely African guitar line, and bongos as accompaniment. In other hands this might be a simple activity song; with Nelson and Haack's creative approach, it borders on sci-fi spoken word.\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly, tracks like \"Eine Kleine Gebouncemusik\" feature discussions between Nelson, Haack, and the children they recorded the album with, resulting in a parallel-dimension version of Kids Say the Darndest Things. The sprightly, keyboard-based \"Gebouncemusik\" is a quintessential Haack work, referencing Mozart's \"Eine Kleine Nachtmusik\" as well as Hindenmith's concept of \"gebrauchmusik,\" or \"utility music,\" which can have a specific musical purpose or be played by anyone. Only Haack, however, could come up with such a unique array of elements and blend them into something even more distinctive. ~ Heather Phares","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45848383684895,"sku":"3891121305313","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/17619340eb1fe7ebeaca40434bf0dbc1.jpg?v=1777664969","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/dance-sing-listen","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
