Each of the ten composers throughout the story tells children about their favorite instrument, how it makes them feel, and what animals or moods they thought of as they were writing the piece of music.

History
Music Notes
Most Western music is based on a system of notation that evolved around 1600 out of earlier practices. The starting point for any opera is the full score, which contains all individual voices and instruments arranged in a specific order on the page. The written music—representing the sounds a composer creates in his head—then comes to life performed by singers onstage and played by the orchestra.
