Description:
Songs For Kids Who Touch the Stars
songs by Bill Pere, with the LUNCH Ensemble
These songs are not only fun but they have
meaningful words and beautiful music"
(a teacher, central CT)
When was the last time you heard songs that
speak as much to parents as they do to kids?
Songs For Kids Who Touch the Stars is Bill's
third collection of songs, designed to foster positive discussion and
interaction between kids and their parents. The songs pick up some of the
characters and stories from the preceding CD ("Songs for Kids With Common
Scents") and continue the story in new directions. In Bill's typical
cinematic style, all the songs interweave together, but can also stand
individually. There is dialog between the songs (featuring the Lunch kids) which
make the whole thing seem like a stage play.
The recording features Bill's clever, well
crafted lyrics, singable music, and harmonies by the LUNCH Ensemble. The tracks
are orchestrated with Bill's distinctive full band arrangements featuring
12-string acoustic guitar and Midi guitar.
"All of Us God's Children" was
written specially for Bill's live performance at the Special Olympics World
Games in 1995. "Rhythms o Our Heart" is a musically and lyrically rich
celebration of the way the world all fits together. These songs are light
hearted yet carry important meaning for parents and children to share.
12 Tracks, 52 minutes, Lyric Sheet Included !
Proceeds from the sale of this CD (and all of Bill's CD's) go to help Hunger Relief and
family service agencies, through Local United Network to Combat Hunger (LUNCH).
If you like lyrically rich songs that have
meaning and are fun to hear and sing:
Songs For Kids Who Touch the Stars is part
three of Bill's children's collection, which also includes "Songs For Kids
Who Like to Think", "Songs For Kids With Common Scents",
