Musikalesch Aventuren (LU, 4–8 Joer) Musek ass eng genial Geschichtenerzielerin. Si ka Gefiller an Handlunge beschreiwen. Si ka Landschaften entstoen, Schlässer bauen a Blumme wuesse loossen an awer och Stierm provozéieren, Mënsche verzauberen oder einfach erschrecken. Si kann esou kléngen ewéi en Iesel oder esou, wéi wann een am Bauch vun engem Walfësch wier… E richtegt musikalesch Märchebuch ass den Zyklus «Musikalesch Aventuren», an dem nieft der Sprooch vun der Klangkonscht och dat Lëtzebuergescht zu Éieren kënnt. _________________ Music is a genius at story-telling. It can describe feelings and actions. It can conjure up landscapes, build castles, make flowers grow, unleash storms, enchant people or frighten them. It can sound as if there were a donkey in the room, or as if we were inside the belly of a whale… The series «Musikalesch Aventuren» is a veritable musical book of fairy-tales, paying homage not only to the idiom of music, but also to the Luxembourgish language.
