Woody Woodblocker is a novelty piece featuring the title instrument as a soloist. It is suitable for bands currently in the first year of lessons. It should be performed in a lively manner and played at a tempo deemed suitable by the director. While the typical woodblock is usually struck with a drumstick, the director may wish to explore other types of blocks and mallets which may prove more effective with bands of varying sizes. To overcome the issue of balance, the woodblock notes are primarily sounded while the winds have rests within a measure. Young bands, therefore, with more than a few players in the percussion section may use more than one woodblock player on the solo part without upsetting the balance between woodblock(s) and winds. Thank you for choosing this composition.

During the Jazz age of the 1920's, the cat's pajamas referred to anything special, unique or cool. Musically speaking, the image of a cat in pajamas might suggest combining low clarinets (reminiscent of Prokofiev's use of a clarinet to describe the cat in Peter And The Wolf) with a jaunty little tune in ragtime style, adding a few instrumental meows, and you have (what else?): The Cat’s Pajamas: A Felicitous Feline Ragtime Novelty! Audiences and performers will love it from head to tail!
