The Little Fiddle - Danny Kaye/Johnny Green Orchestra[00:00:00]
My dear children hello[00:00:01]
Oh no no no children everyone must answer[00:00:04]
Please hello before we can start Hello Hello[00:00:06]
Well that is better[00:00:10]
Now if you would all draw up your chairs and listen very closely[00:00:11]
I will tell you a most unusual story[00:00:16]
The story of the little fiddle[00:00:20]
As it is told in Symphony number 45[00:00:25]
Which was written by the great Chzekoslovakian composer[00:00:29]
Andree[00:00:32]
Junior[00:00:44]
Now this story children is very unusual[00:00:46]
Because it is told not only with words[00:00:49]
But also with music[00:00:53]
So first I want you to meet the symphony orchestra[00:00:55]
How do you do[00:01:03]
Shake hands with the trombone[00:01:05]
And the tuba[00:01:07]
And the oboe[00:01:08]
And the saxaphone sousaphone zither and xylophone[00:01:10]
Clarinet buglehorn fiddle and fuglehorn[00:01:12]
Tinny kazoo and the timpani too[00:01:13]
And the piccollo picollo picollo picollo picollo picollo picollo[00:01:15]
Picollo[00:01:18]
Now some of you children may be very surprised to hear[00:01:20]
That the symphony is not only music[00:01:24]
But that it always tells a story[00:01:27]
Which has a beginning a middle and an end[00:01:30]
Except for the unfinished symphony[00:01:36]
Which has a beginning[00:01:39]
As I was saying[00:01:42]
If you listen you will hear[00:01:44]
From the corner of your ear[00:01:45]
How the oboe she makes love to the bassoon[00:01:47]
And the pipe goes diddle diddle[00:01:51]
And the fiddle's in the middle[00:01:52]
And the dish ran away with the spoon[00:01:53]
Heh heh heh that's what she did[00:01:55]
Well so Now we tell the story[00:01:57]
Which starts with the first movement[00:02:01]
Presto vivace argomento molto contabale molto chocolo molto[00:02:04]
And we have the first theme[00:02:09]
Which is naturally the theme of the little fiddle[00:02:11]
Now this little fiddle is a young girl[00:02:19]
Who lives with her wicked guardian[00:02:22]
Which is a french horn[00:02:24]
Now this young girl who is a beautiful girl[00:02:31]
And her wicked guardian live all alone on a farm[00:02:42]
And all she has for company are a hen and a dog[00:02:51]
And a nanny goat[00:03:07]
Now one day when her wicked guardian[00:03:15]
The french horn is upstairs busy washing his coils[00:03:18]
Along came a handsome young trumpet[00:03:28]
When he clasps his eyes on the little[00:03:34]
Fiddle his heart went[00:03:37]
And he gets so excited he has a big cadenza[00:03:43]
Which is a solo passage in triple time[00:03:48]
This brings us to the second movement[00:04:12]
When the little fiddle is happy and the trumpet is happy[00:04:15]
When suddenly out stalks the french horn[00:04:25]
Ehhhhhh[00:04:33]
What's going on here says the french horn[00:04:34]
The little fiddle is so putrified her bridge falls out[00:04:37]
But the trumpet says we love each other[00:04:43]
But the french horn is very objectionable to this marriage[00:04:51]
And the trumpet blows his top ah shut up[00:05:00]
Now I know who you are you are not the french horn at all[00:05:06]
That had me fooled for awhile[00:05:10]
But the gave you away[00:05:13]
You are a glockenspiel in disguise beyond a doubt[00:05:16]
Wanted by the police for drowning twelve little fiddles out[00:05:19]
The glockenspiel tries to escape to his flat[00:05:23]
But the animals are too sharp for him[00:05:25]
Ow in the leg[00:05:31]
Ow in the neck[00:05:34]
Ow in the face[00:05:37]
Ow in the other place[00:05:40]
The glockenspiel is trapped his escape they are foiling[00:05:42]
So he jumps into a kettle drum which is boiling[00:05:45]
