Lyrics

[00:01.38] This is the story of Peter and the wolf.
[00:05.19] Each character in the tale is going to be represented by a different instrument of the orchestra.
[00:12.78] For instance, the bird will be played by the flute. (Like this.)
[00:31.46] Here's the duck, played by the oboe.
[00:51.63] The cat by the clarinet.
[01:14.08] The bassoon will represent grandfather.
[01:41.66] The wolf by the French horns.
[02:04.90] And Peter by the strings.
[02:28.59] The blast of the hunters' shotguns played by the kettle drums.
[02:41.77] Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.
