    What are some of your favorite stories? Sometimes music and stories go together. Some songs tell stories. If you’ve sung “Billy Boy”, you’ve sung a story. Sometimes music without words can also seem to tell a story. The sounds can almost make you see pictures in your mind. Some music can make you imagine good people, bad people, singing birds, ships at sea and even the broom’s（笤帚）marching （进行曲）.

    What is brooms marching? That is part of the story told in a famous piece of music for orchestra （管弦乐队）by a Frenchman named Paul Dukas. The music is called The Sorcerer’s （魔法师的）Apprentice（徒弟）.

    When you hear the music for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, you can imagine what’s happening. The quiet-sounding music makes you think of what the sorcerer is doing. Later, when it’s his apprentice’s turn, the music changes into a kind of funny little march, which helps you to imagine how a broom might walk! But then something goes wrong with the apprentice. He can’t make the broom stop! It keeps filling the bucket（桶）with water and bringing it back and watering the floor.

  1. What kind of music can tell us stories?

  2. Who and what can we imagine when we hear music?

  3. Does Paul Dukas make music?
