Early One Morning – Folk Songs, Rounds, Ballads, Shanties, Spirituals and Madrigals
Thirty-three folk songs, forty-three rounds, seven ballads, five shanties, nine spirituals and plantation songs, and six madrigals, making 103 songs in all, among them several two-part folk songs and eleven songs for three or four parts. A well-balanced mixture – light-hearted and pensive, serious and jolly, loving and bantering, this collection represents many streams of songs in English, from easy folk tunes and rounds to madrigals and other part-songs. A core of well-known songs is complemented by a wealth of new discoveries. The collection can be the student’s companion from Class 5 to Class 12.
We Wish You A Merry Christmas – Carols, Hymns, Songs and Rounds
English Songs for Advent and Christmas. Well-known carols as well as hymns and rounds, some of them contributed by Waldorf Schools in Britain and hardly known on the Continent. It is intended that each student should have his/her own copy of this collection as a companion throughout the Christmas seasons from the fifth grade to the twelfth – and beyond.
A Change In The Year
While Rhythms, Rhymes, Games and Songs contains quite a number of the more traditional children’s songs, the importance of pentatonic songs for at least the first two years of the Lower School can hardly be overestimated. Among other things, they often have a therapeutic effect in that they can help to calm and harmonize the children. These two collections offer a considerable variety of songs.
Rhythms, Rhymes, Games and Songs for the Lower School
Material accumulated over the decades within the Waldorf School movement. For use in the first three (four) classes. Appendix with examples of especially suitable stories. Index of first lines. More than 70 finger plays, mostly accompanied by instructions, 35 classroom games, almost 30 singing-games, about 50 traditional English and American children’s songs, numerous action rhymes and poems.
Pentatonic Songs
for nursery, kindergarten and grades 1 and 2
Elisabeth Lebret komponierte eine Fülle von pentatonischen Liedern „für Kindergarten und die Klassen 1 und 2“ für verschiedene Anlässe: Aktivitäten, Feste, Jahreszeiten, Geburtstage … Die Sammlung erschien erstmals 1971, und Elisabeths Wunsch, dass „dieses Büchlein seinen Weg in die weltweite Waldorfbewegung finden möge“, wurde inzwischen mehr als erfüllt. Wir erwarten, dass diese neu gesetzte und sehr attraktive zweite Auflage in der gleichen Tradition ihren Weg finden wird.
