Celenza, Anna Harwell

Saint-Saëns's Danse Macabre

32 pp. | Charlesbridge | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-57091-348-8 $19.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by JoAnn E. Kitchel. Celenza and Kitchel (Vivaldi's Four Seasons) again explain the genesis of a well-known classical piece, here Saint-Saëns's masterpiece, Danse Macabre. Celenza's text imagines some conversations but remains true to the known facts; Kitchel's watercolor illustrations employ a colorful, somewhat cartoony style. A CD is included, and an author's note provides additional information.
