Seasons for Singing

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This reissue, originally appearing as a Folkways recording in 1970, features noted children's folk singer and educator Ella Jenkins facilitating a 1969 sing and play workshop with children ages 7 to 14. While one might expect Seasons for Singing to be dated, the reverse is true: a timelessness is achieved by virtue of simple melody, lively young voices, and enthusiastic reverie. As the liner notes state, Seasons is a "listen-and-take-part-immediately" record. From an alternate version of "This Train," to the traditional spiritual "All Night, All Day" and Kathy Mullen's "Go, Aquanetta, Go" are sure to rouse spontaneous participation from young listeners. Equally versatile for at home or group play, Seasons practically begs for small instruments such as kazoos, triangles, wood blocks, and bells. --Paige La Grone

From Parents' Choice®
Ella Jenkins, a seminal figure in children's music, has been recording for children since the 1950's, collecting songs from around the world to enrich singalong times and broaden horizons. Here, Jenkins is heard singing with young children in 1969, and the session's simplicity-a few instruments, the unpretentious blend of voices, the flowing rhythms and lyrics-invites today's listeners to join in, too. Highlights: "Blue Walking," about a dog trying to find his master. A 2000 Parents'... read more

5 out of 5 stars Great music - fun to singalong.......2007-03-10

We have the Christmas Revels CD and loved that, but I can't stand Christmas music in February, so I bought this CD. My family adores it -- my kids, 4 and 6, love to sing along to it. There are a few drinking songs that praise alcoholic beverages (Good Ale, Jone's Ale), but I'm not sure my kids get the gist and it doesn't bother me.

I felt this was well worth the cost -- there are a lot of songs on here. I love that we can sing along to music that isn't sacchrine, dumb-downed, kids music and I like the historical nature of the tunes (the liner notes are great -- they give background on the May festival and each song has a few sentences of background, as well as providing the lyrics. There are a few songs that are instrumental, but most have singing).

Another album my family is enjoying is Dean Shostack Davy Crockett's Fiddle - they are instrumental early American fiddle tunes.

5 out of 5 stars Very fresh and fun........2001-09-06

I defy you to not sing along with this album. The songs are catcy without being tiring, folksy without being simple, nostalgic without being sentimental. The Revel Singers make you feel like you're in the midst of a big party full of boisterous people having a great time. I was introduced to this album via my local eclectic radio station that played "Jones's Ale" one morning and I was hooked.

5 out of 5 stars Refreshing Change from Tired Carols.......1999-12-29

Probably taken from one of the delightful annual Revels Christmas/holiday musicals, the sound is Christmas-y without being cloying. It's joyful, fresh and charming.

    4 out of 5 stars Engaging for young children--and their parents!.......2003-07-05

    Although not a crisp studio recording, the spontaneity and exuberance of Ella Jenkins and the children bring an energy to this collection of lesser-known, lively sing alongs--mostly with a spiritual, blues or rock 'n roll origin. Ms. Jenkins is the premiere music performer and educator for young children--she knows just how to bring the excitement and joy of musical expression to children. You and your child will be singing along quite easily to all of these numbers--this collection is especially suited to ages 3 to 9 according to the cover, however, even babies seem to enjoy it!

      Customer Reviews:

      3 out of 5 stars The other reviews only PARTLY right.......2002-08-14

      I agree with both other reviewers re the duo coronet/organ arrangements on SOME of the bands of Disk #2 I have, but McCann plays them very well and the organ is fine if you like the organ (which I don't). BUT, the OTHER BANDS include orchestra and on ALL bands McCann really plays beautifully. However, I will not buy another disk of these because of the duo performance bands and - WHAT A SHAME as ALMOST ALL THE PIECES REALLY ARE AMONG WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL and MANY are very difficult, if not impossible, to find ANY arrangement of (though at least half on each cd readily avail other perfs arrangements).

      1 out of 5 stars Misleading CD title!.......2000-12-16

      Thought I was purchasing a nice compendium of beautiful songs to listen to on long trips. You'd better love the golden cornet if you buy this CD - or, rather, 5 CDs!

      1 out of 5 stars Hope you like the "Golden Cornet" and organ..........2000-03-19

      This CD set has all the greatest melodies... only they are performed by some guy and his "golden cornet" (a horn). There is accompaniment by an organ. This set WOULD have been great, IF it was performed by a piano. Huge disappointment. Would have been nice to know what instrument was used to begin with.
