Side 1
1. Introduction
2. Clap Your
Hands; Miss Nelson gives us things to do in movement and dance
to the rousing folk tune "Old Joe Clark''. Banjos and
Oboe are
electronic!
3. Sunflowers:
you are a little seed- you grow, you
battle the wind, you move in a way which
becomes dancing. This imaginative, original story by Miss
Nelson is set to the world's first electronic jazz by Bruce.
4. Skating Party:
let's pretend that we're outside on the old skating pond,
we can do everything but
fall down (until the end, that is'!
5. Medieval Dances:
two dances from around the year 1200. One for fair princesses
with tall hats
called ''the hennin'' and one for bold knights on horseback.
6. My Bones:
here Miss Nelson makes us aware of some very important parts
of the body to the
tune of a fine old spiritual, ''Dry Bones''
7. A Little Discussion
- what a funny title! Mara and Risa answer and Eine
Kline -some questions about dancing, and Bruce's Gebouncemusik:
plays same of the bounciest music ever.
SIDE 2
1. Coca the Coconut: in many years of teaching, Miss Nelson
finds that this original story s still the
favorite! Here Bruce plays a real steel
drum from the is land of Grenada, assorted
drums, and harmonica.
2. Sailing: Miss
Nelson sings this old French song, and tells us how to move.
Listen to
her beautiful voice, and let your arms be
the sails.
3. A Stuffy Story:
a funny story which Bruce wrote and tells. There is a big
surprise in the end of both
story and music!
4. Pussycats:
another great original by Miss Nelson —
the melody is an old folk ''Molly Malone'.
You will really feel that you're a kitten!
Bruce makes a piano sound like a
harpsichord.
5. Trains: some
trains are fast, some trains are slow.
These trains sound Flamenco!
MISS NELSON AND BRUCE DEDICATE THEIR EFFORTS ON THIS
RECORDING TO JANE FALK IN APPRECIATION OF HER WORK IN BRINGING
CHILDREN'S DANCE TO WESTCHESTER COUNTY.
