''The Story of Harmelodia'' is a 1999 album by Rheostatics.〔"Rheostatics all live in a Yellow Submarine". ''The Globe and Mail'', December 8, 1999.〕 Billed as a children's album,〔 the album is a narrative detailing the adventures of Dot and Bug, two children from the land of Harmelodia who fall through a hole (as in ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'') into the land of Popopolis. In Harmelodia, the children attend weekly lessons where they learn highly regimented music, but in Popopolis, they learn to make music using their own creativity on fantastical instruments such as the "wingophone". The album is based on a story by Dave Bidini,〔 and is packaged in a book containing Bidini's text with illustrations by Martin Tielli. Narration on the album is by Bidini's wife, Janet Morassutti. A different version of "Song of the Garden" was recorded for the band's 2001 album ''Night of the Shooting Stars''. Guest musicians on the album include Sarah Harmer, Kurt Swinghammer, Mia Sheard and Kevin Hearn. It is also the only Rheostatics album which includes a songwriting credit for Don Kerr, the band's drummer from 1995 to 2001. ==Other notes== In 2004, Centennial Secondary School in Belleville, Ontario created and performed a stage musical version of the album. The show itself did a trial at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Story of Harmelodia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
