Luciano Berio was a musical inventor who loved turning everyday sounds into music. This is the last part of his ‘musical zoo’ where each section is a different animal! In this piece, our wind players have to use different sorts of musical voices: speaking as well as playing.  It’s like a musical cartoon of a mouse’s nightmare – you’ll hear a tiny mouse tiptoeing through the dark, hearing creepy-crawly sounds made by the flute and clarinet before a loud and jumpy passage where a cat looms our of the dark and… pounces!  Which instrument is playing the mouse, with lots of squeaky sounds and who is growling like a cat on a hunt…? And what do you think happens to the mouse in the end?
