Whirligigs

This attractive suite of three concise movements depicts various types of “whirligig” contraptions, or “wind-toys” which were popular in Europe as early as the 16th century. “Marching Soldier” features an optional “marching machine” creating the effect of soldiers on parade, while “Flower Lady” depicts a figure in constant fluid motion moving up and down while picking flowers. The concluding movement, “The Flying Horse”, describes a very active whirligig with moving feet and flapping wings. A unique and descriptive programming option for young players.
