Abstract
Here is an ambitious combination of music and text to celebrate 400 years of Jean de La Fontaine. The 20 fables are presented in four groups of five, with a musical introduction and brief musical interludes between fables. Each group has a musical symbol repeated with each fable. Each text has a selection of an Oudry illustration, enhanced by a garish coloring of one or two elements. The twenty resulting illustrations make up the endpieces inside front and back covers. As one experiences on the accompanying CD, male and female voices alternate introducing and presenting the fables. The first fable, GA, seems to be presented twice, once by each voice. The sound track is also available online at a web address indicated inside the back cover. Though I arrived at the site and got in with the appropriate password, each selection that I tried stopped after a few seconds.
