Maurice Sendak

You’re hearing a little from Randolph Wolf’s ballet music for Maurice Sendak’s 1963 Caldecott-award-winning, Where the Wild Things Are.

That’s the powerful, famous beginning of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, from the Weston Woods animated film version of this Caldecott Award classic

That’s the Alloy Orchestra from Cambridge, Massachussetts, providing the soundtrack for a new movie, “Dragonflies the Baby Cries,” a short, around ten minute, nearly silent film by Jane Gilooly about children and their magical, secret lives.

That’s Angela Coin, belting out part of the familiar title song for the 1981 Broadway version of Maurice Sendak’s “Really Rosie,” set to Carole King’s music.
