Details:
"Where can I get more of Samantha Whelan''s CD''s? They are the only stories my children want to listen to in the car when we travel...I had 4 hours of the forest fire faires just yesterday..." Cate (mother of 2)
"...earlier this year, we moved to Dubai and your cd was among the boxes we brought. One night, my younger son who is now 5, brought it to me and we agreed to play it after lights out at bedtime. And that was the beginning...every night since, the boys insist on hearing the stories ... whether it''s the music, the story, the reminder of the Canadian Rockies...I''m not sure. But they love it to death. Thanks for that! If you ever produce another, I would be interested in hearing it!!!" Kelly (mother of 2 boys)
About rocky mountain fairy tales:
Rocky Mountain Fairy tales is one of the first children’s CD''s to integrate the different families of instruments from the orchestra with life lessons and mystical tales of the Rocky Mountains.
These four fairy tales are written by Samantha Whelan with music composed by Keon Birney. The stories take the listener on a musical adventure through the Rocky Mountains encompassing four seasons. With the help of four different types of fairies, Red Fire Fairies, Green Forest Fairies, Blue Water Fairies, and best of all, the Yellow Wind Fairies, many situations transpire. Each story has been orchestrated for a different group of instruments making the families of the Orchestra come to life. In between each of the stories is a wonderfully arranged folk song showcasing the sounds of the instrument family featured in the story it follows.
