Maria von Trapp pronounced “Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens.” This work is a key that introduces young musicians to the enthralling world of ensemble playing. Opening with a bold trumpet fanfare and featuring an engaging melody from the clarinet section and vibrant percussion, this lively piece is perfect for the beginning band first concert and will motivate young players as well as stimulate their imaginations.
