This piece tells the story of a picnic interrupted by pesky bees. As time goes on, more and more bees can be heard, and every section gets a turn. Listen for the sounds of the bees as they travel around the orchestra. Most of the "buzzes" include the musical note B in the dissonant cluster of notes. This piece gives your students a chance to tell a story with their music - invite them to engage in the drama, looking nervously around or occasionally swatting an imaginary bee in front of their faces. The orchestra creates the narrative of happy picnickers having their beautiful day interrupted by pesky bees.
