The Moon and the Wind

These musical settings of two Robert Louis Stevenson poems from A Child's Garden of Verses paint a picture of the imaginative life of a child. In The Moon, the accompaniment provides a magical feeling as the moon looks down on all the creatures of the night. In The Wind, contrasts between major and minor create a tone painting. Wonderful for teaching text stress and lyricism, this set of two may be performed together or individually. The optional flute part adds much to the overall effect, which is very charming!
