Description

Climb the hill with Jack and Jill—and tumble through a whirlwind tour of music history!

In this delightful and educational family program, the Great Bend Chamber Choir presents Paula Fendler’s Nursery Rhyme Suite, a clever and captivating collection that brings classic nursery rhymes to life while tracing the development of Western music from Gregorian chant through the Romantic era. Each movement places familiar childhood verses—like Humpty Dumpty, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and Hey Diddle Diddle—into the musical styles of different historical periods, offering both laughs and lessons along the way.

Full of tongue-in-cheek musical surprises, the piece is designed to engage young listeners and curious grown-ups alike. From the solemnity of chant to the grandeur of Romantic harmonies, Nursery Rhyme Suite turns history into a playful, participatory adventure.

Perfect for families, educators, and anyone young at heart, Mother Goose and Her Musical Time Machine is a joyous reminder that learning can be both meaningful and fun—especially when set to music.
