Sir Edward Burne-Jones was the greatest of the second generation Pre-Raphaelites. Burne-Joness aim in art is best given in some of his own words; written to a friend:"I mean by a picture a beautiful; romantic dream of something that never was; never will be - in a light better than any light that ever shone - in a land no one can define or remember; only desire - and the forms divinely beautiful - and then I wake up; with the waking of Brynhild."He considered that art should be valued as an object of beauty engendering a sensual response; rather than for the story or moral implicit in the subject matter. In many ways this was antithetical to the ideals of Ruskin and the early Pre-Raphaelites. Insofar as this was directed against the lack of realism in his pictures; it was beside the point. The earth; the sky; the rocks; the trees; the men and women of Burne-Jones are not those of this world; but they are themselves a world; consistent with itself; and having therefore its own reality. Yet it is a dreamer always whose nature penetrates these works.

Its incredible! The best part is that each book contains a year worth of units divided into sequential lessons and with specific repertoire (though there is plenty of flexibility if you want to use other repertoire for some parts of lessons). Even if your kids arent caught up to the sequence (my 5th graders are currently on 2nd grade concepts). the lessons work and are adaptable to your students. your equipment. your classroom. your administration. and your overall situation. These books are an amazing resource for elementary music teacher and something that the elementary music world has been lacking for much too long. The lessons can also serve as an outline that can be supplemented with other activities (concert prep. Orff activities. instrumental performance. etc).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good book.By SBHReally good. Almost too good.
