Free Music Notes for Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies

Free Music Review: "Mommy, Mommy, it's Tchaikovsky . . ."
Hit: 5 Stars

This is a fantastic CD on so many levels -- Perlmutter has added witty, silly, yet often educational lyrics to some of the most recognizeable melodies in classical music. Most of the lyrics include some information about the composer, so that anyone who listens a few times will at least learn the composer's name, perhaps the popular name of the melody, and a few other facts. For example, "Beethoven's Wig . . . . is very big" is sung to the opening bars of Beethoven's Fifth. "The crowds were cheering at the concert hall (rah rah) the night Tchaikovsky shot the cannon ball (boom bah)" is sung to the 1812 Overture. A ditty about the Schumann family is sung to Schumann's Happy Farmer. Some lyrics are educational, such as "All the Kings and Queens of England," which names, sequentially all the kings & queens of England. Others are just plain fun, such as "All the girls in Paris France, love to do the can can dance . . " set to Offenbach's can can.

This CD doesn't present itself as a substitute for concert-style music, sans lyrics, performed in a serious manner by first-rate classical musicians. But it is an entertaining supplement, for both kids and adults. I love it when my daughter hears music on the radio and shouts out, "Mommy, it's Tchaikovsky" or "Mommy, Beethoven, listen. . ." -- and I'm pretty sure that the reason she is able to connect the composer to the music is because of what she learned listening to Beethoven's Wig.

Personally, my favorite of the four Beethoven's Wig collections published to date is Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies followed closely by #1; they're pretty much neck and neck. Beethoven's Wig 3: Many More Sing-Along Symphonies gives broad exposure to different instruments, but the lyrics are much less memorable. Beethoven's Wig 4: Dance Along Symphonies includes a broader array of music, such as John Philip Sousa and Scott Joplin. I've given #1 and #2 as gifts on several occasions and they always seem to be a hit.
