(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Shefelman. This fictional account lyrically narrated in the composer's voice presents key moments in Antonio Vivaldi's life and musical career. Vivaldi's mother dedicates her young son to the priesthood. He fulfills this promise, but music eclipses his religious vocation. Terra cotta–toned ink-line and watercolors, which accent Vivaldi's red hair, effectively depict Venetian landmarks. Musical notation decorates the endpapers. Glos.
