Indroduction Lyrics - David Bowie

1 This is the story of Peter and the wolf.

2 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.) Here's the duck, played by the oboe.

3 The cat by the clarinet.

4 The bassoon will represent grandfather.

5 The wolf by the French horns.

6 And Peter by the strings.

7 The blast of the hunters' shotguns played by the kettle drums.

8 Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.
