A Midsummer Night's Dream (The Story Orchestra) tells the story of Shakespeare's famous play, later composed by Felix Mendelssohn. Push the buttons to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing from Mendelssohn's score.


This story takes us to Athens where the Duke and Queen are to be married. However, not everyone is as happy, and on one midsummer's night, mischievous fairies, lively actors and young lovers get caught up in a series of pranks and events in the nearby woods.
As you and your little one journey through the magical scenes of Shakespeare's most beloved and comedic play, press the buttons on each page to activate the sounds! This encourages interactive learning and introduces children to this beautiful piece of music.


At the back of the book, find a short biography of the composer, Felix Mendelssohn, with details about his composition of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Next to this, you can replay the musical excerpts and, for each of them, read a discussion of the instruments, rhythms and musical techniques that make them so powerful. A glossary defines musical terms.
The Story Orchestra series brings classical music to life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of classic ballet, opera and program music stories paired with 10-second sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores.
