Cottee's piece is played by members of the National Youth Orchestra Band and uses a narrator, who provides commentary on the instruments.The composer’s own recording with the LSO was made in 1963, but in no way does it show its age. The opening theme, both vibrant and lively, sets the tone for a performance of great character in a recording that is simply stunning, albeit on the close side. Listening to each instrumental family demonstrating its own unique timbre and idiom, Britten must have been overwhelmed by his accomplished orchestra here. The narration for the documentary film was written by Eric Crozier, the producer of the first production of Britten's opera Peter Grimes, and is sometimes spoken by the conductor or a separate speaker during performance of the piece. The composer also arranged a version without narration. The one without narration is more often recorded. The commentary often differs among recordings.

A new narration was written by Simon Butteriss for the Aldeburgh Festival and broadcast live by CBBC presenter Johny Pitts with the BBC Symphony Orchestra for the Britten 100 celebrations in 2013.Discover the main instruments of the orchestra accompanied by 10 sound clips of child-friendly famous pieces, including Lark Ascending, Flight of the Bumblebee, Carnival of the Animals, Children's Intermezzo Suite, and more.
