This is the story of Peter and the Wolf
Each character in the tale is going to be represented by a
Different instrument of the orchestra
For instance, the bird will be played by the flute
Like this
ย
Here's the duck, played by the oboe
ย
The cat by the clarinet
ย
The bassoon will represent Grandfather
ย
The wolf by the French horns
ย
And Peter by the strings
ย
The blast of the hunters' shotguns played by the kettle drums
ย
Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I shall begin
