In a Persian Market

Intermezzo scene for Recorder/Flute group, Vibraphone and Percussion arranged by A. Rosenstengel from the original Orchestral piece by Albert W. Ketelbey. Anoriental atmosphere pervades this work. The cattle-drivers slowly approach the market; the cries of beggars are heard across the bustle. The beautiful princess enters carried by her servants - she stays to watch the jugglers andsnake-charmer. The Caliph now passes through the market and interrupts the entertainment, the princess prepares to depart and the caravan resumes its journey as the sounds of the Persian Market fade into the distance.
