In this picture book inspired by the life of Antonio Vivaldi, the composer himself narrates how a creative, determined boy grew up to create masterpieces like "The Four Seasons."
Despite his mother's vow for him to become a priest, young Vivaldi is only interested in music. He soon grows from a feisty, violin-obsessed boy into a stubborn young man who puts his musical training ahead of his studies for priesthood. Beautiful, ornate artwork portrays the spirit and splendor of Vivaldi's hometown of Venice. A historical note, musical score, and glossary will help readers more fully appreciate the composer's Baroque context and his enduring genius.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Eerdmans Books for Young ReadersISBN-13:9780802855862ISBN-10:802855865UPC:9780802855862Book Category:Juvenile NonfictionBook Subcategory:Biography & Autobiography, MusicBook Topic:Music, Classical, HistorySize:10.80 x 9.80 x 0.40 inchesWeight:0.45Product ID:SCYQ649XY2
