Researchers have demonstrated what's known by every parent: infants love music. In the first year, a baby's brain develops faster than at any other time, and sound and music play significant roles in a newborn's intellectual and emotional development.
As a follow up to the two great collections Build Your Baby's Brain Through the Power of Music (SK 60815) and Build Your Baby's Brain Through the Power of Mozart (SK 61721), we now offer three new selections that are also programmed to stimulate the mind and, after repeated listenings, will ultimately give your little one an advantage in this fast-paced and competitive society. If listening to Mozart's music makes people smarter, or at least makes them perform astonishingly better on an intelligence test, then the music of Bach, Beethoven and the Baroque will propel them to even higher levels of creativity, performance and optimal health.
Baroque music is a whole world of sound and emotion: it delights the senses and touches the heart. Sprightly dances, ceremonial marches, pensive lullabies: this music is the ideal soundtrack for raising a child, who will be certain to respond to all the catchy melodies, friendly harmonies and engaging rhythms that make Baroque music so popular. Wake up to a brass fanfare and go to sleep to a string lullaby -- here is the best of the Baroque for you and your baby to enjoy throughout the day! Featuring the greatest Baroque tunes ever penned, such as Pachelbel's "Canon", Mouret's "Rondeau" (the "Masterpiece Theatre" theme), Clarke's "Prince of Denmark's March" and the rousing "Hallelujah Chorus" from Messiah, with such expert performers as Jean-Pierre Rampal, Raymond Leppard, E. Power Biggs, Eugene Ormandy, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and many others!
What they're saying about Build Your Baby's Brain:
"My kids love this CD. My three-year-old pretends to conduct and my eight-month-old gets a kick out of the whole experience. This in turn creates enjoyment for the whole family. For now, the important thing is exposure; this CD is wonderful for serving that purpose!!!"
-- A music fan from Charlottesville, VA, July 7, 1999
