The Waldorf Book of Songs

3/25/2020

From David Kennedy

I picked out three songs for aspiring vocalists and musicians of all ages who may find themselves at home and longing to sing. I chose one each from the 2nd, 4th and 8th grade chapters of my upcoming book The Waldorf Book of Songs, which will be published this summer. Two celebrate the wonders of nature and the third, the story of waking up to an invader (l'invasor in Italian). 

Bella Ciao! ("Goodbye Beautiful") originated in the north of Italy in the late 19th century. It was sung by the mondina women, seasonal rice paddy workers, to protest against the harsh working conditions. It was adopted as an anthem by the Italian Resistance, fighting again the Fascists, in World War II. It is sung in many versions around the world as a hymn of freedom.
