Total Eclipse of the Rainbow



Total Eclipse of the Rainbow. Performed by Rainbow Rock Band. CD. Approx. 22 min. Label: Del Ray Rocks. 2018. CD: $9.99; Download: $7.99.

Ages: Pre-school

            Led by songwriter Dr. Karen Moran, the Rainbow Rock Band performs 7 high energy songs in folk, rock, country, and pop musical styles, with lovely harmonies. The back-up musicians make beautiful music on guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, bass, piano, and drums. Dr. Moran plans for this album to be a teacher resource for circle times; or for parents to support learning for their children. “Crazy Cakes” combines counting with participatory movement. “Lee Lee the Lizard” can change his color in all colors of the rainbow. “Sunflower” tells how a potted sunflower needs lots of sunlight. Everyone turns to the “Sparkle Fairy” for the daily weather forecast. “Samuel the Zookeep” sees various animals in the zoo, including monkey, tiger, elephant, lion, and others, accompanied by their sounds. Children are encouraged to dream of rainbows in “Rainbow Lullaby.” And everyone celebrates when “It’s Your Birthday.”  Teachers and parents will welcome this album with open arms.
