Day 16 and 17, Jan. 28 and 29 - Classical Music Listening Challenge

Here are two fantastic selections from the Romantic period. The first is Debussy's tone poem La Mer which conjures images of the turmoil and peace of the sea. The second is Prokofiev's Lt. Kije suite. This movement is The Troika. My daughters are performing it with the KW Symphony Youth Orchestra on Sat.  Jan. 29th, 2011. Enjoy!

Today's classical music listening challenge is Debussy's La Mer - a great example of program music! http://youtu.be/4240QMQ1jhU
