"THE CHILDREN ARE PLAYING" is a tiny fairy-tale of a piece for solo flute written by Denmark's best-known composer Carl Nielsen in 1920 as incidental music for a play called "The Mother." The whimsical music is a tip of the cap to Hans Christian Andersen and sounds like kids on playground on a spring day--leaping and laughter and teasing and taunting with a mix of sun and clouds. Georg Philip Telemann, Fantaisie No. 12Claude Debussy, SyrinxCarl Nielsen, The Children are PlayingAll flute piece performed by  Karen Kevra Frank Loesser, I'm Hans Christian Andersen performed by Danny KayeArtwork: Sibylle von Olfers, Mother Earth and Her ChildrenSupport the show
