A children’s story by Kathy Stinson, illustrated by Dušan Petričić. Based on a real life event in 2007, when Joshua Bell played the violin in the Washington DC Metro Station. Violin performance of the Gavotte en rondeau from the Partita No. 3 in E major by J. S. Bach performed by Thomas Schoen in this reading of the story.
This is the same piece that is used in the story, but this time played on a copy of an instrument from the 1700’s when the piece was written by J. S. Bach
Poems by Robert Louis Stevenson inspired the music by Elaine Fine. We were inspired to create the videos by performing the music along with field recordings and images from a vintage edition of the poetry.
Music by Elaine Fine, based on the book Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans (published by Puffin Books).
We have three versions of this story piece. One with just the music, one with the music and the book, and one with the music, the book, and a voice reading the book along with the music.
