Hi Kids Commuters! We’re glad you’re joining us for Kids Commute from Interlochen Public Radio. We hope your week is going well, and are happy that Kids Commute is the soundtrack for your school year. This week, we’re listening to Gabriel Fauré’s “Dolly” suite, composed in the late 1800s.
As we’ve learned in this week’s shows, Dolly isn’t actually a doll and the second movement, “Mi-a-ou” isn’t about a cat. Today, we learn that the “Kitty Valse” (or waltz) isn’t actually about a cat either! So what gives? Find out in today's episode! Have you figured out the answer to this week’s Quizlet? Great! If you haven’t quite figured it out yet, don’t worry. We’ll give you one more hint right after the music in today’s show. Text us the correct answer, and we’ll send you a Kids Commute Prize Pack.
