A clever little piece, this has a musical mouse with her three siblings, only she happens to be far too adventurous for the rest of them. They normally play in a string trio with piano, but when she branches out, and tries to collaborate with birds singing, with an army of rhythmical soldier ants, and more, they scoff. Things only get worse when she hears a different troupe of mice with their even more different music. Of course, this could be a moral story about racism as well as broadening your church where music is concerned, but what pins it down to being about the music is, oddly, the visual style. There's a great, tempestuous representation of an argument on these pages, and the music itself is portrayed very well, in semi-abstract form. So yes, try the sounds that other people like to make and hear, experiment and have fun and mix everyone up together is the lesson given, and it's given in fine fashion here. A strong four stars.
