Margolis has taken three movements from Tchaikovsky's Album for the Young ("Morning Prayer," "March of the Wood Soldiers," and "Waltz") and exhibited his felicitous tinkly-percussion scoring. The first movement, in 3/4, is a warm and lush lullaby; the second, a wooden-soldier march with woodblock (temple blocks really) as if in commentary, with both 1st and 2nd endings and D.C.al Coda; the last, a waltz not unlike Tchaikovsky's ballet music, with an exotic metallic percussion mid-section (and D.S. al Fine as well).
