Ten Pieces Story Time

The Magic Orchestra

Duration: 6 minutes

First broadcast: on CBeebies RadioLatest broadcast: on CBeebies Radio

Available for over a year

Frederico works in a factory testing toys, in a land where music has mysteriously disappeared and left the world a boring place. He dreams of becoming a conductor, creating splendid music with magical instruments. By hearing rhythm and melody in everyday sounds like the rain and sounds that the factory machines make, the instruments in his dreams begin to fill the world with music and colour once again. Ten Pieces Story Time introduces little listeners to classical music and helps inspire their imaginations. This story was inspired by children’s thoughts after listening to A Night On The Bare Mountain, composed by Modest Mussorgsky and performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. #CBeebiesRadio Show less
