Welcome to Puppet Week on Kids Commute - music appreciation for kids from Interlochen Public Radio! Join us as we listen through music written for and about puppets. This week we’ll highlight fun compositions by Charles Gounod, Igor Stravinsky, and more! Today’s musical selection is “Loutky” or “Puppets”, composed by Czechoslovakian composer, Bohuslav Martinu.
Martinu was a fan of puppets. In fact, he wrote 14 pieces of puppet music! We’ll give you a few more factoids about Martinu, and introduce you to a brand new Kids Commute Quizlet. Text us the correct answer and we’ll send you a Kids Commute Prize Pack!
