Orchestrated
The cello sings low
When brushed by bow
Then oboe chimes in
With other woodwinds
A murmured start
To musical art
The music bleeds
From wetted reeds
As the brass horns
Round out the form
A harmony struck
As each note plucked
Percussion beats loud
Feet tap in the crowd
And Marimba plays
With mallets ablaze
Baton and tuxedo
Driven allegro
Cymbals loud crash
Piano taken to task
Timpani moan deep
As clarinets weep
The rising sound
A symphony found
