Description :
Poetry, music and art. These 3 wonderful components combine in the award-winning releases from Zoppa Records entitled, The Land of Nod - Musical Verses, Vol. I and Wynken, Blynken and Nod - Musical Verses, Vol. II.
Musicians Brian and Ellen Kjelgaard Godula have tapped into the trend of recording music for children that not only soothes and stimulates their minds and bodies but appeals to the grown-up as well. "We began our Musical Verses™ series after the birth of our daughter. We wanted to give her a gift of music and not just a hipped up version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, to make music an adult would want to stay in the room for", says Kjelgaard Godula. "In rediscovering the wonderful old poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson, Eugene Field, Walter de la Mare and so many others, we became inspired to turn those lyrics into songs". The music is mezmerizing, the poetry delightful and the vocals of Ellen Kjelgaard Godula would offer aural respite to the weariest of humans.
The Land of Nod and Wynken, Blynken and Nod are not merely musical experiences however. The CD's are each packaged with a 36-page booklet of the poetry and are highlighted with lovely vintage illustrations. Everyone from kids just learning to read, to parents, grandparents or teachers can enjoy the illustrations and listen or sing along! The spirit is alive on both recordings and there are many great musicians adding their musical talents to both projects. This music is recommend for al
