Microcosmicomica

DESCRIPTION

Microcosmicomica could be described in many ways, such as 'Music picked from the tree of the XXth Century’, or 'Small easy pieces'. But beyond labels, it is a classical music album for children that presents a selection of pieces from the 20th century. This selection was devised to offer simplicity and high compositional quality and is intended to provide an enjoyable listening experience for children (and their parents) while also exposing them to high-quality compositions.
