Music as a Second Language

Editorial Reviews
Mike Silverton, Fanfare
"The program's eight works employ the speaking voice in never anything less than surprising and delightful ways."

Album Description
Speech melodies extracted from sources as various as language instruction recordings, hypnotists and televangelists are resynthesized and applied to digital musical instruments, becoming eerily beautiful, "the singing of voices more ancient than language."

Product Description

Brand new arrangements of Latin American favorites and original compositions inspired on styles such as son, merengue and swing. Contains sing-along songs, tongue-twisters and activity songs. Great for kids who are learning Spanish as a second language. In this playful musical journey to Latin America, they bring us the music that Latin parents, grandparents and teachers sing with their children. You will hear new renditions of traditional songs to sing along and dance, and a few tongue twisters with a twist.

5 out of 5 stars great CD for little babies.......2007-07-05

I am native spanish and this CD is the closest to the music I've had when I was little. Music is soft with no annoying voices. My 4 month old baby loves it already. Many of the songs are fun to dance with and in others you can signal with your hands while singing. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD and fun to listen too for parents...and baby!.......2006-12-23

We have a 10 month old and we can only speak English to her. To introduce her to the Spanish language we got this CD of music and the whole family loves it, including the little one. We all love dancing around the living room while its playing. Its also has 5 or 6 spoken parts to expose the baby to the spoken word. Also, its been a great CD to put her to sleep with because to songs are so soft an pleasing. You can't go wrong with this one!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent sound quality, diversity of voices/songs.......2006-05-27

As a non-native Spanish speaker trying to expose our daughter to as much Spanish as possible (my husband only speaks English to her), this is a perfect CD with easily understood (i.e. not too fast, nor too many voices singing at once) and fun music in Spanish. The music quality is great and diversity of people singing (women, men, children) is broader than other CD's I've heard. Also, there are quite a few tracks!

5 out of 5 stars Good musicians and creative arrangements.......2005-11-28

It can be hard to find children's music in Spanish that parents can also enjoy, but this is it. These performers sing well and have put together some delightful arrangments of old standards as well as some new songs. My Spanish-speaking kids (ages 4 and 1) love it and always get up to dance during their favorites.

    Product Description

    Gamelan as a Second Language systematically exposes and presents the extraodinarily beautiful sounds of the gamelan orchestra. Suite for Gamelan Son of Lion is a meditation on these sounds, and the power and drama of the sounds are presented apart from emotional or intellectual manipulation. David Demnitz has been a member of Gamelan Son of Lion for more than ten years. He has composed many works which have been performed by the ensemble and he enjoys the support and collective spirit that membership in this composers' collective affords. Six of his works for gamelan appear on "Gamelan As A Second Language" (GSOL2) reflecting his involvement with both minimalism and Afro-Cuban music. David is employed as a music instructor at a residential treatment center in Westchester County. In this context, insights and procedures discovered while composing for the gamelan are put to use in devising group activities for the students.
