[Orchestra tuning up in background. Announcer speaks;]
And now we're going to hear a piece of music that tells a very definite story
It's a very old story, one that goes back almost 2000 years.
A legend about a Sorcerer who had an Apprentice
He was a bright young lad, very anxious to learn the business
As a matter of fact he was a little bit too bright
Because he started practicing some of the boss's best magic tricks
before learning how to control them.
[Spooky, eerie music]
[background music building up to indicate increasing tension]
[heavy beat, marching music]
[happy, victorious music]
['oh, no, stop, boy am I in trouble' music]
[building up tension]
[loud, crescendo]
[crashing cymbals, over and over]
[sudden quiet]
[gentle, quiet music]
[loud finale!]
