A unique collection of 38 musical memories shaped by people from 23 different cultures. Here is an "around the world" collection that offers you more than just a shallow encounter. These refreshingly unfamiliar gems of childhood include hand game songs, game chants, circle dances, lullabies, work songs, and songs for listening. Each contributor has reached back to their musical roots, sharing cherished memories to nurture the many branches of their family and community trees. These proud culture bearers keep the flame of their heritage bright while living and working within the American mosaic. This is their legacy to us and to our children. Includes an overview of each culture, a mini-biography and photo of each contributor, notes on each song with complete directions, original language, transliteration, pronunciation, and translation, and many copy-permissible educational aides.
