Melody and the Snowman Melody

# Melody, Melody

# Listen to the music Let your mind fun free

# Melody, Melody

# From a castle or the jungle to the Arctic Sea

# It could be as loud as a storm

# Quiet as a sigh

# As dainty as a dance step

# Or soaring high in the sky

# Melody, Melody

# Listen to the music Let your mind run free

# Melody, Melody

# The musical imaginings of Melody! #

'Yay, it's the weekend! I love the weekend, because I get to have fun.'

Mummy, can we play snakes and ladders?

Sorry, Melody - I'm trying to get the laundry done.

'I REALLY want to play my game. But it's OK -

-'I

-have another idea.'

Mummy, can we read a book?

Oh, Melody! I can't read a book!

I'm getting our dinner ready!

'This is where I always sit when I'm cross.

'Oh! It's a bit cold outside!'

Oh, Melody!

'Mum tells me she would love to play, but she has jobs to do.'

Oh, here, look, you're getting cold.

Mummy, have we got any music that makes you think of cold things?

-You know, I think I do. Would you like to hear it?

-Yes, please!

Now, when I think of this piece of music,

it makes me think of tinkling bits in the snow, so see what you think.

It's called Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy, by Tchaikovsky.

MUSIC BEGINS WITH OPENING THEME PLAYED ON THE CELESTA

Ah!

Aw!

In the garden somewhere, there's a lonely snowman.

MUSIC CONTINUES WITH WOODWIND AND BRASS

There's a girl lives close-by.

But it's too cold to stop and play.

The snow blocks her door!

So, the snowman helps.

He wants to make friends.

'After listening to the music, I don't feel cross any more.

'I give Mummy a big hug.

'I say, I know she cares about me, and she's always thinking about me.

'Caring IS thinking about the other person.

-'So,

-I

-think about my mum.

'We can do something that Mum needs to do -

'like baking a cake!

'Mum thinks it's a great idea!'

So, we're going to crack them on the side...

That's it.

'And so does Fudge.

'Fudge loves cake...

'almost as much as he loves snow.'

Right, one last big mix. Are you ready?

Shall we do it together like this, like a mixer?

THEY MAKE WHIRRING SOUNDS

Mmm!

That music made me think of snowmen.

What did it make YOU think of?
