Music
Last week you listened to the mystery music. What did you think?
It is the finale (last movement) from a ballet called The Firebird by Igor Stravinsky, who wrote it in 1911.
It is a story about an enchanted garden owned by an evil man and a magical Firebird who is set free by a young Prince called Ivan.
Listen to it again - can you hear the bit where the Firebird is set free?
