But what if you could control the performance of a live orchestra as they're playing with a remote control? That's the idea behind this hilarious new novelty piece. With the click of a switch (or, in this case, the sound of a bell), the orchestra switches from piece to piece in mid-phrase. Listen as "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" changes to "Beethoven's Seventh" to "Stars and Stripes Forever" and back again! Your audience will love it as they "surf" from channel to channel, including brief stops at the "Opera" channel and the "Sci-Fi" channel! This remote even has a "pause" button that freezes the orchestra, and a "mute" button that keeps them playing, but with no sound! Great fun for everyone! (3:00)
