Puppet Theater for Strings and Piano
Composers:- Bobrowitz, David
Duration: 2
Description:
Puppet Theater has a long and varied history with evidence that it even existed in ancient China. Puppet shows still exist today, and it can be said that the tremendous popularity of the Muppets of Sesame Street is a direct derivative. Musically the piece is an entertaining tribute to the skilled artists who made the puppets come to life for children of all ages. As typical of any Bobrowitz piece, there is important material for all. Each part, whether playing pizzicato or arco, gets its turn at playing melodic material, which will motivate students to want to play this piece often. Lively, and somewhat whimsical in nature, it’s fun to listen to, and fun to play!
