MACEY'S MUSIC
Macey and music go hand in hand. She dreams of conducting the best in the land. An orchestra filled with musicians galore, who’ll play such fine music - of that she is sure. Climb up the big steps and onto the stage. The players are ready. She opens the page. Her baton is raised. She beats one two three, then music begins in her favourite key. First violins place their bows on the strings. Then follow violas. Together they sing! Cellos and basses then join in the tune. A wonderous melody now fills the room. Sound floats on up to the rooftop so high. A flute flutters in, and is soon followed by a sweet piccolo, who playfully swings the notes that now sound like sparkling wings. They dance and they twinkle along on their way, and catch clarinets who join in to say, ‘Come take this song, this melody fine. Join us bassoons. Now is your time.’ After they finish her baton is still. The orchestra quiets. There’s no sound until softly one note weaves in, all alone. Ah yes! There it is! The oboe’s sweet tone. It calls to the brass, the trumpets and horns to step right on in, and whip up a storm! A musical tempest is starting to swell, and Macey’s baton helps to conjure the spell. Caught in the magic, percussion so proud, banging and crashing and being quite loud! A cacophonous thunder and lightning that zings until – hear it now! A triangle ‘ting.’ The music has stopped. It’s finished. All done. Macey is smiling. She’s had so much fun! Macey and music go hand in hand. She dreams of conducting the best in the land. A famous conductor she will be for sure, as she bows and imagines the shouts of ENCORE! Macey's Music © Kerry Gittins 2023. All Rights Reserved.
