An extravaganza for children aged from 4 to 104!
This is a selection of well-known nursery rhymes, mixed with a few original compositions, in which the real stars are the animals. In some songs they perform entirely without words, with the help of a little electronic magic from the American organist and musical events organizer Dave Nelson, in other songs they also are joined by British composer and countertenor David W Solomons.
The animals will introduce themselves as the CD progresses. Meanwhile, the humans involved introduce themselves here:
Arranger/Animal trainer:
Lorin Nelson [LN] (also known on the Net as Lorin Swelk) grew up in various areas of the United States including California, Idaho, Illinois, Wyoming and Utah. He has enjoyed tracking (but not hunting or harming) animals since childhood, thanks to his Grandfather, G. L. Nelson, to whom he wishes to dedicate his work on this project. He started taking music lessons at age 8 but didn't really take an interest until his teen years, when he found that girls liked musicians.
He studied under Valton Kuykendall (brass and percussion), H. Jarrold Harris (electronic music/timpani/Harpsichord), Ray Barker (electronic music), Irvin M. Smith (pipe organ), Alan Strange (electronic music), and of course his dear piano teacher Mildred Van Norman amongst others who would probably not want to be mentioned. He has played piano, organ, keyboards, mallets, timpani, percussion, brass, drum set and found objects in ensembles ranging from punk bands to symphony orchestras to drum and bugle corps in the past three decades. Lorin would like to especially thank his Mom and Dad for forcing him to play music from an early age. He also does a bit of composing on the side.
Composer/Countertenor:
David W Solomons [DWS] was born in Oxford in 1953 and has lived in various parts of England, France and Hong Kong. He graduated from Oxford University in Modern Languages, but taught himself the arts of singing and composing. He currently lives in Sale, Cheshire and works in Manchester as a translator. He sings alto with various choirs at Manchester Cathedral and composes secular and religious works for choir, solo voice, organ and various chamber groups, many of which have
