Of Mice and Men, based on the John Steinbeck novella, is the story of George Milton and his child-like companion, Lennie Small; two migrant ranch hands in 1930 depression era California. They have a simple dream: to have a home and land of their own. Composer Carlisle Floyd emphasizes this dream with a tender ballad sung by George, One Day Soon.
If there was ever a story to emphasize “Stranger Danger,” then Hansel and Gretel is it! Similar to the original Grimm version, Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel features a lush orchestra underscoring the well-known duet When at Night I Go to Sleep and The Witch’s Hop, Hop, Hop. And it still teaches children to never take candy from strangers.
