KING LEGATO: In a year's time? Ten years? Or twenty? FAIRY VIOLA MOTHER: Maybe in a hundred years' time! Who knows? QUEEN STACCATO: (weeping) Oh! What would make her wake up? Page 4 of 18 Copyright November 7, 2013 Sleeping Bow

5 LOYAL SERVANT: Music! If the Prince of Good Tone were to play the magical song, then she would awaken. KING LEGATO: Well, what is the magical song? Can we play it now? QUEEN STACCATO: And where will we find the Prince of Good Tone? NARRATOR: Just then a Royal Messenger entered. ROYAL MESSENGER: (Enters; Plays FANFARE) Announcing the Prince of Good Tone. He has come to play a duet with Princess Bow. A duet is a piece for two instruments. PRINCE OF GOOD TONE: (Enters; bows deeply to King and Queen) Good day, King Legato and Queen Staccato. I am here to play a duet with Princess Bow. KING LEGATO: A fairy has put a sleeping spell on her. You must go on a quest to find the magic song that will awaken our daughter, Princess Sleeping Bow. ROYAL MESSENGER: A quest is a long search for something. PRINCE OF GOOD TONE: I am up for the challenge. ON DECK: Aunt Rhody, Uncle Rhody WIZARD: (Enters) Hello, Prince of Good Tone. I am the Waltzing Wizard. Would you like to hear me play the Brahms Waltz? PRINCE OF GOOD TONE: Sure. I always enjoy hearing a good Waltz. WIZARD plays BRAHMS WALTZ (King & Queen waltz together; others sway) PRINCE OF GOOD TONE: Thank you! That was a wonderful performance -- but I have to leave on my quest to find the magical song that will awaken Sleeping Bow. WIZARD: Oh, I almost forgot to tell you this important clue. You will know you have found the magical song because after it is played you will hear this sound: KIT KNIGHT & DU PRE BASS play MAGICAL HARMONIC on their basses WIZARD: Then call the King and Queen on your cell phone and they will put it by Sleeping Bow s ear to see if she will wake up. (Prince and Messenger walk to the Rhodys house. Wizard and Fairy Mothers exit. King & Queen go sit in chairs by Sleeping Bow s bed.) Page 5 of 18 Copyright November 7, 2013 Sleeping Bow

6 NARRATOR: So the Prince of Good Tone and the Royal Messenger started out on their quest to find the magic song that would awaken Sleeping Bow. As they walked through the Unionville Forest, they came to Aunt and Uncle Rhody s house. ON DECK: Sailors (Aunt & Uncle Rhody step out next to their house) ROYAL MESSENGER: The Prince of Good Tone is on a quest to find the magical song to awaken Sleeping Bow. AUNT RHODY: (Curtsey to the Prince) UNCLE RHODY: (Bow to the Prince) AUNT RHODY: Prince of Good Tone, welcome. UNCLE RHODY: Would you like to hear our song? AUNT RHODY: We are not sure if it is the magical song you are looking for, but it is beautiful. UNCLE RHODY: Just listen. AUNT and UNCLE RHODY Play and then sing GO TELL AUNT RHODY I am Aunt Rhody, I'm Uncle Rhody. We play our cellos every single day. We play the high notes, we play low notes too. We play with beautiful tone every day. I am Aunt Rhody, I'm Uncle Rhody. We play our instruments every single day. (While they play, King holds his cell phone to Sleeping Bow s ear. Prince and Messenger listen intently, Prince holding up cell phone. At the end, Sleeping Bow sits bolt upright, shakes her head No, flops back down. King shakes his head No. Messenger & Prince shake their heads No. Put cell phones away in pockets.) (***NOTE: King and Queen alternate holding the cell phone for each song.) ROYAL MESSENGER: (Listens for the special sound; doesn t hear it; shakes his head.) I didn t hear the magical sound KIT KNIGHT & DU PRE BASS play Non-Magical Harmonic on their basses ROYAL MESSENGER: That is the sound, and I did not hear it. That means this is not the magical piece the Prince is looking for, but thank you anyway. (BOAT & RIVER in place onstage) Page 6 of 18 Copyright November 7, 2013 Sleeping Bow

7 NARRATOR: Next the Prince had to cross the Farmington River. He came to the boat launch where some sailors rowed him across. SCARLATTI SAILOR: Hop on board and we will row you across the Farmington River. STRAUSS SAILOR: We hear you are on a quest to find the magical song. SOUSA SAILOR: Listen to us play Lightly Row. This may be the magical song you are searching for. ON DECK: Golden Rosin & Musical Viola (Prince and Royal Messenger get into the boat) SCARLATTI & STRAUSS & SOUSA SAILORS Play and then Sing LIGHTLY ROW Lightly Row, Lightly Row, O er the Farmington the Sailors row, First we rosin, then we tune, Right up the scale we go, go, go. We like to practice with our bow, Playing in the good tone spot like so! Lightly Row, Lightly Row, O er the Farmington the Sailors row. (While they play, Queen holds cell phone to Sleeping Bow s ear. At the end, Sleeping Bow sits bolt upright, shakes her head No, flops back down. King & Queen sadly shake heads No. ) PRINCE OF GOOD TONE: Thank you for the ride. Wait, that was a piece of music! I forgot to hold up my cell phone! ROYAL MESSENGER: I m way ahead of you, boss. (holds up cell phone.) I was listening for the magical tone KIT KNIGHT & DuPRE BASS play Non-Magical Harmonic on their basses ROYAL MESSENGER:... but that was not it. Bye-bye. (Sailors exit. BOAT is removed.) MAGICAL GOLDEN ROSIN & MUSICAL VIOLA: (Enter & play chasing scales) NARRATOR: (speak during scales) The Prince continued on his quest to find the magic song, when all of a sudden he ran into the Magical Golden Rosin and the Musical Viola practicing away in the Unionville Forest. Page 7 of 18 Copyright November 7, 2013 Sleeping Bow

8 MAGICAL GOLDEN ROSIN: Hello, Prince of Good Tone. Welcome to the Unionville Forest. I am Magical Golden Rosin. Rosin is what you rub on your bow. It turns into a white powder and helps the bow stay on the strings. PRINCE OF GOOD TONE: Do you think I could have some for my bow? MAGICAL GOLDEN ROSIN: Oh yes, I like to share. If you use my magic rosin you will always have a beautiful tone. (Magical Golden Rosin offers the rosin to the Prince of Good Tone. He rubs the rosin on his bow.) PRINCE OF GOOD TONE: Let s play Bach s Minuet together. I know the King and Queen have been having everyone in the castle learn how to dance the minuet. (Dancers take places in front of the stage. Follow instructions!) MAGICAL GOLDEN ROSIN & PRINCE OF GOOD TONE Play BACH S MINUET #3. Everyone else dances. At end of dance, Dancers return to their places. (During the dance, King holds cell phone to Sleeping Bow s ear. At the end, Sleeping Bow sits bolt upright, shakes her head No, flops back down. King & Queen sadly shake heads No. ) ROYAL MESSENGER: (Listens) Well, that was beautiful, but it was not the magical song to wake up the Princess because I did not hear the magical sound. KIT KNIGHT & DU PRE BASS play Non-Magical Harmonic on their basses MUSICAL VIOLA: Hello, I am the Musical Viola. The viola is a musical string instrument that looks like the violin but it is a bit bigger so it has a deeper tone than the violin. See the difference between the violin and my big viola? (Musical Viola holds up his viola, and Prince holds up his violin, and they compare sizes. Alternatively, have Musical Viola use a 1/10 size violin from offstage.) ON DECK: Magical Ladies PRINCE OF GOOD TONE: Do you think you could play a piece for us so we can hear the difference? MUSICAL VIOLA: Of course, I would be delighted. My good friend Magical Golden Rosin just gave me some rosin for my bow so I will have a beautiful tone. Here is a regal piece called Chorus from Judas Maccabaeus.
