Summer of Lore #56: The Chorus

In addition to the orchestra, the dramatic adaptation of "The Song of Magic" is notable for having a chorus that also plays instruments as well. Among the 20 chorus members (4 of each type of voice), there is

--a flute (used to mimic birds, the female voice, ghosts and spirits)
--drums
--the narrator's harp (some plays will have more than one harp in the chorus besides the narrator's

A general percussionist is also part of the chorus (handling small drums and rhythm instruments for sound effects)
