These songs are a riot! by John Newman
September 14, 2005
The songs in Thirteen for Halloween are just a joy, and well worth
the price. They will appeal to both children and adults, alike. The arrangements
are bright, fun, and easy to play. My kids love these songs and always stop to
listen, and better yet join in, when I sit down to play them.
Many are
traditional texts set to original melodies. "MacTavish is Dead" is a fun example
of how Taylor has combined a folk melody (the Irish Washer Woman) with a
traditional poem to create a song that you can’t help but want to sing along
with. The "Three Quodlibets for a Gaggle of Ghouls" is full of fun sonic
references to classic monsters, and is just plain fun to sing with your family
and friends.
The best recommendation I can give for this collection is
this. Not a week goes by since getting this collection that my five year old
doesn't come to me as say, "Dad, will you sing the song about the mean old witch
for me?"
Cost of the book? $10. My kids wanting to sing with me?
Priceless.
