Overview

Meet classical composer Antonio Vivaldi in this charming semi-autobiographical tale. Travel through time following a charming little mouse named Minim who loves cheese and music. With great courage, he braves a cold Venetian winter night to visit an orphanage. His mission is to replace the tooth fairy by leaving a little gift under each child's pillow. Little does he know that this task is fraught with danger. A tomcat is lurking about in the building, always on the lookout for his next meal. Luckily, it’s also home to the great composer Antonio Vivaldi, whose music will prove irresistible! In addition to the illustrated story and introductory notes on the composer, an accompanying CD (and a unique digital download code) features recordings of the narrated story and the performances of the composition “Concerto for Winter” from The Four Seasons. A free teaching guide is available at www.thesecretmountain.com. Part of the Little Stories of Great Composers series, featuring Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Haydn, Schubert, and Paganini.
