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
