benjamin britten has written a big piece of music,[00:00:05]

which is made up of smaller pieces[00:00:08]

that show you all the separate parts of the orchestra.[00:00:10]

these smaller pieces are called variations,[00:00:13]

which means different ways of playing the same tune.[00:00:16]

first of all, he lets us hear the tune or the theme,[00:00:19]

which is a beautiful melody[00:00:23]

by the much older british composer henry purcell.[00:00:24]

here is purcell's theme played by the whole orchestra together.[00:00:28]

music[00:00:31]

now, mr. britten lets you hear the four different families of the orchestra[00:01:00]

playing the same purcell theme in different ways.[00:01:04]

first, we hear the woodwind family.[00:01:07]

the flutes, the oboes, the clarinets and the bassoons.[00:01:09]

music[00:01:13]

here comes the brass family.[00:01:35]

the trumpets, the horns, the trombones and the tubas.[00:01:37]

music[00:01:43]

now, mr. britten arranges the purcell theme for the string family.[00:02:02]

the violins, the violas, the cellos and the double basses.[00:02:06]

and of course, the harp.[00:02:10]

music[00:02:13]

and finally the percussion family,[00:02:34]

all those drums and gongs and things you hit.[00:02:36]

music[00:02:38]

after this, you will hear the theme by purcell played once more[00:02:42]

in its original form by all four families together.[00:02:45]

that is, the whole orchestra.[00:02:48]

music[00:02:57]
