Music reviews of Song of the Unicorn
Music Review: Song of the Unicorn enchants all
Rating: 5 Stars
The cd "Song of the Unicorn" is an enchanting blend of music and fantasy, with a touch of historical fiction added. The music is a great introduction to music of the medieval and early renaissance period. It provides interesting examples of monophonic music as a part of the story. The Song of the Unicorn includes bits of the Arthurian legend that may go over the heads of younger listeners.
The disc also includes cd rom section with pictures to color,which are not as closely related to the story as they might be. There is information on Gregorian chant and music notation, and sheet music of the renaissance tune "Early One Morning" written for two recorders and voice.
This disc would be great for music, language arts, and social studies classes for third to seventh grades. It is also beautiful enchanting story for younger children who enjoy fantasy.
My only criticism is the section about music of the future. It is not necessary for the story
Description of Song of the Unicorn
GENERAL FEATURES: When a young queen falls mysteriously ill, her children are sent deep into the forest in search of her only cure: the legendary unicorn.

There they must decide what can truly cure their mother -- King Arthur's powerful sister, Morgan-le-Fay, or the healing touch of the unicorn. Features more than two dozen excerpts of pre-Baroque music, including traditional English songs like Greensleeves and Early One Morning, Gregorian Chant, Celtic songs, wild Medieval dances plus a journey into the future of music with Bach, Beethoven and beyond. Approximately 45 minutes. Recommended for ages 5-12. Educational entertainment for all ages.General CDs
