Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter contain a wide variety of poems, songs, and stories of the seasons and many contributions for festivals. The volume titled Spindrift contains material for use throughout the year, including more than forty stories, many different cultures around the world. Gateways contains sections on morning, evening, birthdays, and fairy tales.
Based on work in Waldorf kindergartens, these six books provide
invaluable material for working with young children and will be useful
for Waldorf teachers, home schoolers, and parents alike.
First
published more than twenty years ago, these books are in their third
edition, now reedited and with much new material added. In addition, the
music has been comprehensively edited, with most songs now in the scale
of D-pentatonic, which is particularly suited to pentatonic lyres and
may be played on any traditional seven-note or twelve-note instrument.
Each volume includes an enlightening introduction by Jennifer Aulie on
music in the “mood of the fifth.”
The covers are all
illustrated in watercolors by David Newbatt, with the four seasonal
titles each depicting a different worker.
