Strauss' Song of Nature

An Alpine Symphony, Opus 64

Dear First Grade Music and Geography Explorers,

Strauss was a keen observer of sights and sounds in the world, and took a special geographic journey in his work, An Alpine Symphony. Listen carefully to Strauss' music and paint a picture in your mind of the scenes he saw.

Next, listen to the symphony again and let the music inspire you in your drawings.

Love,

Ms. LaRoche

P.S.: Be sure to use a dictionary to look up all of the words that might be unfamiliar to you.
