Langley Schools Music Project – Innocence and Despair [CD]

Description

Ever since NPR aired an excerpt of this 1976-77 school project, it’s been selling like, well, cookies at a bake sale! Imagine a gym in western Ontario full of 60 children aged 9-12, singing the pop hits of the day and discovering inside themselves for the first time a love of pop music the joy and wonder of these kids is palpable! Then add in some Carl Orff-like percussion, and rudimentary bass and guitar, and the whole thing even takes on some avant-garde dimensions. Trust us, you’ve never heard God Only Knows; Space Oddity; Rhiannon; Wildfire or the Long and Winding Road sound like this!
