Musical Musings

On the way to Church today we were listening to Prokofiev's "Lieutenant Kije Suite." The "Romance" movement came on and after listing to a few bars Gordon asked,"Moooom, is this the kind of music that plays when your puppy runs away?" We all had a good laugh and were impressed by the fact that the boy is already familiar with the tropes of western music. The girls proceeded to mention other sad events for which the music might be a fitting accompaniment.

When we pulled into the parking lot the "Troika" movement started and we listened to some of it before heading into the chapel. When Shaunie asked the kids, "What does this one sound like?" They all said, "CHRISTMAS!!!"
