Subject: Lyr Add: THE INSTRUMENT SONG (trad. Austria)
Is this all of it? Seems to be a round...

THE INSTRUMENT SONG
Austrian Folk

Children love singing this round as the classroom is divided into five sections, each representing an instrument of the orchestra. As each instrument is introduced, it is heard first as a solo, then joined by the others that have already been heard to produce a harmonious "orchestra."

"Violins"
The violins ringing like lovely singing.

"Clarinets"
The clarinet, the clarinet
Goes doodle doodle doodle doodle det.

"Trumpets"
The trumpet is braying,
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta .

"Horns"
The horn, the horn
Awakes me at morn.
The horn, the horn
Awakes me at morn.

"Drums"
The drums playing two tones
They're always the same tones.
