Peter and the Wolf and Jazz!

Overture

Introduction to the characters

Early one morning Peter opened the gate

On the branch of a big tree

Just then a duck came waddling round

Suddenly, something caught Peter's eye

Look out! shouted Peter

Grandfather came out

No sooner had Peter gone

In a twinkling the cat climbed into the tree

And now, this is how things stood

In the meantime, behind the closed gate

Peter said to the bird

Meanwhile, Peter made a lasso with his rope…

Just then, hunters came out of the woods

Imagine the triumphant procession!

Above them flew the bird, chirping merrily

Bird's Tweets. Presto leggiero

Soulful Cat. Maligno affamato

Elegy for a Duck. Andante piangendo

Hunter's Blues. Allegro resoluto

Beware of the Wolf. Agitato furioso

Grandpa's Shuffle. Moderato capriccioso

Peter's March: Giocoso alla marcia
