The

Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra'' should be performed with the inserted

commentary, spoken by the conductor. The music is arranged so that the orchestra can continue playing at those moments when the conductor is speaking. A separate speaker can be used for the commentary if preferred. In order to facilitate performance, a slightly different version omitting the spoken commentary is included in the score. The version without commentary, cuts or alters, in some instances, some bars between the sections of the theme and between the single variations. These instances are indicated as follows: Bars to be played only in the version with the commentary are bracketed thus 1

: bars marked 2

apply to the version without commentary only.

Notes printed in small type apply only to the version without commentary. There are sometimes cuts marked with "vi-de" which, of course, refer only to the version without commentary. Sometimes there are single bars "repeated ad libitum" so as to allow the speaker sufficient time. These l)ars are only to be played twice in the version without commentary. In addition the conductor will forego many pauses which are bracketed and linger less during the transitions if the commentary is not spoken.

Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra Variations on

a

and

Fugue

of

Purcell

Theme

The commentary written by Eric Crozier

To be spoken before the music starts:

The composer has written this piece of music specially to introduce you to the instruments of the orchestra. There are four teams of players: the STRINGS, the WOODWIND, the BRASS, and the PERCUSSION. Each of these four teams uses instruments which have a family likeness. They make roughly the same kind of sound in the same way. The STRINGS are played with a bow or plucked by the fingers. The WOODWIND are blown by the breath. The BRASS are blown too. The PERCUSSION are banged. First you will hear a Theme by the great English composer, Henry Purcell, played by the whole orchestra and by each one of the four groups of instruments.
