TRANSCRIPT
YEAR 5 & 6 PERFORMANCE PIECE
A TERRIFYING TALE
Hilary Miles
VOICE 1
This music tells a story,
A tale from long ago
How witches on the Sabbath meet
Dance through
the night till morning’s glow
VOICE 2
Long ago
Dance through
the night till morning’s glow
Listen to the music
Shrill warnings in
the woodwind
A roll on the drums a fanfare loud
Depicts the arrival of this monstrous crowd!
Music
Shrill warnings in
the woodwind
A roll on the drums a fanfare loud
On the stroke of midnight a ghastly dance begins
You hear the
shrieking piccolo,
Percussion and
the violins
Ghastly dance begins
Percussion and
the violins
Listen to the music
Shrill warnings in
the woodwind
A roll on the drums a fanfare loud
Depicts the arrival of this monstrous crowd!
Music
Shrill warnings in
the woodwind
A roll on the drums a fanfare loud
You hear the lightning flashing as the spirits
all arrive
The soft, the loud: the lows the highs
As the dancers jig
and jive
Spirits all arrive
As the dancers jig
and jive
Listen to the music
The church bell
signals dawn
You hear the harp calm down the pace.
‘Til next year they
are gone!
