Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

by Jeff Bennett

Composed by: Tchaikovsky

From the Nutcracker Suite

My first foray into the expanded world of the Music 3000 and discovering the difficulties of fitting sixteen instruments into only 9 parts. This certainly taught me a lot about using chord programming to control multiple voices.

Many thanks to Alan Minns for the Celeste voice which underpins the whole piece. I am now working on the march which is a much longer piece and this time it's touch and go if I can fit it into the memory.
