About The Atlas
The Musical Geography Atlas for Kids is a collection of 12 specially created songs by Jānis Lūsēns and Loreta Kalniņa. It’s a journey through 12 countries – Mexico, Peru, Greenland, England, Italy, Latvia, Congo, Egypt, Russia, India, Australia, Japan – in song, both to listen to and to sing along with. There are two versions of each song – in Latvian and in the language of the respective country.
The Musical Geography Atlas for Kids contains three parts – a piano score of the authors’ 12 songs, an illustrated book with song lyrics in Latvian and in the languages of the countries from the Atlas, and two CDs – one for piano and voice in Latvian, the other for piano and voice in the languages of the 12 countries included in the Atlas.
The Atlas allows children to discover a little of the magic of our planet through songs and text, and encourages them to explore the world around – from geography to science, history to foreign languages and other topics.
