Fantasia

So, tap, tap, here we go. Cue woodwinds, kind of a low, burbling Midsummer nights dream thing. Great expectancy. No crescendo yet, winds. Just as a teaser, oboe motif, nachos with cheese, can't wait for the main tune. Some nice chewing music in the clarinets. Cresendo, strings shimmer with a preliminary statement of the idee fixe. Iceberg, with black olives, banana peppers, tomato, onion, abundant mozzarella, and a really good Greek dressing. Strings soar, in octaves, poco a poco, to a gallant theme with just a hint of Italian Baroque texture. Fresh from the oven, toasty and crunchy, a great hoagy bun, filled to the brim with Italian sausage, pizza sauce, banana peppers and some veggies! Just bite in. Brass, doubled at two octaves, ff, sfz, a simplified, triumphant version of the theme. Timp roll, cymbal crash. Ecstasy. Nancy comes out for a bow.
