Franz Schubert’s setting of Goethe’s poem “Ich wollt', ich wär' ein Fisch” is the basis for this contiguous suite featuring each section of your young orchestra. The cellos personify the dolphin with a graceful melody, while the violas get chromatic in their representation of the jellyfish. Feel the weight of your bass section as they embody the manatee and delight in the playfulness of your violins who stand in for the sea lions. A fun way to learn about theme and variations!
