Here are two instrumental numbers in which the musicians of ICE get to show off their incredible skills. “Prelude” opens the piece in a subdued and (I think) slightly strange way, which of course I like.  No grand overture, no grab-the-audience fanfare.  Just a quiet, cautious, repetitive exercise.  The intense focus of the performers is the driving force behind “Prelude.”

“Interlude” is a place right in the middle of the piece where I get to take a break and do something besides sing.  I might have a glass of milk and/or do a private dance to blow off steam!

The instruments in “Prelude” are: piccolo, clarinet, castanet, piano, violin, and cello.
