Tales to Tell, Tales to Play

Four folk tales retold and arranged for music and movement, with accompaniment for recorders and Orff instruments. The tales presented here have been adapted from Indian, African, German and American Indian folk tales and lend themselves naturally to the Orff-Schulwerk approach where language, movement and music grow from each other. Introduction • The Blind Men and the Elephant (India) • Contest for the Sun (American Indian) • The Hare and the Hedgehog (Germany) • Tunji and the Giant (Africa)
