Thoughts for the Week
W/B 21st June
We listened to one of the 'Ten Pieces' of music from the BBC about a 'Firebird', which was composed by Igor Stravinsky.
Stravinsky's piece is based on a Russian folk tale about a magical glowing bird that Prince Ivan is searching for. The firebird is imprisoned in a castle with a beautiful princess. Ivan rescues the bird and the princess but then his own sister poisons him and the princess. Luckily the firebird flies to the fountain of youth and with magic water brings Prince Ivan and his beloved princess back to life.
