Program notes
Classical music stands as a hallmark of human creativity and ingenuity. Studies have shown a relationship between listening to classical music and the development of spatial intelligence, reasoning and other cognitive skills. The Baby Einstein Company has created a series of titles designed to introduce your baby to the wonders of classical music. Engaging and familiar themes by the Masters have been re-orchestrated into baby friendly concerts. What better way to discover the Baroque Period (1600 - 1750) than through the complex, highly mathematical music of Johann Sebastian Bach? Baby Bach is musical excursion through some of Bach's most memorable compositions. The Classical Period (1750 - 1830) is brought to life with the brilliance and elegance of Wolfgang Mozart. Baby Mozart samples the incredible genius of the child prodigy from Salzburg. Ludwig van Beethoven towered over the Late Classical Period and created the foundation for the Romantic Period (1830 - 1900). Baby Beethoven traces the range of music history's most recognizable name. Baby Bach Studies have shown that listening to classical music can affect verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, intuition and memory. Bach's music brings to mind complex intertwining melodic themes and powerful bass lines. In Baby Bach, gone are the dark, heavy organs and brittle harpsichords. Your child will discover all the melodic and harmonic movement and energy of J. S. Bach's best-known compositions articulated by lovely mallet percussion instruments (vibraphone, marimba, celeste and glockenspiel), as well as orchestral instruments, lush modern keyboards, flute, 12-string guitar, recorder, toy piano and music box. Enjoy the genius captured in this extraordinary work of Johann Sebastian Bach, the Father of the Fugue.
