The Chase

"The Chase" is a story of three children participating in a race with each other. Trumpet 1 is the fastest child. Everyone knows someone who developed earlier than others. This is represented by Trumpet 1. Trumpet 2 is the child that is not as fast as the first trumpet, but can still stay relevant in the race. This child manages to take the lead several times, but is still not expected to win. The tuba is the child that does not develop as fast as the other children. They are there to have a good time, but always stay in last place. The tuba is the underdog of the story. This piece tells the story of the journey of the race. When one child (instrument) takes the lead, the key is changed and that instrument takes the melody. Each instrument is given the opportunity for the melody in their own dramatic fashion.
