Helsby, Genevieve - Meet The Instruments Of The Orchestra (Book & CD)  

Come & Meet the Instruments of the Orchestra! How can the orchestra make so many different sounds? It's quiet & gentle, loud & piercing, funny, powerful, beautiful, frightening - & many other things besides. Composers for hundreds of years have used the same instruments in a whole variety of ways. With your guiding star, Evelyn Glennie, you too can become an expert. You'll even know your heckelphone from your sackbut & your tom-tom from your tam-tam - by the book & interactive CD-Rom.
