November's Composer of the Month
What better way to get into the holiday spirit, then with a composer who wrote one of the most popular and performed Christmas-time ballets of all time?! Peter (Pytor) Tchaikovsky has written some of the greatest works of the Romantic Era, including the 1812 Overture, 10 operas, orchestral pieces, but is best known for his famous ballets (The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, and more). Tchaikovsky was also the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally and he helped capture the unique sound of Russian music. This month we enjoyed learning dances, cup-passing games, and silly lyrics to our 3 pieces from The Nutcracker!
