The Composer is Dead by Nathaniel Stookey, with text by Lemony Snicket

There's dreadful news from the concert hall: the composer is dead! As with Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, your students will be introduced to each member of the orchestra, as the inspector interrogates the entire symphonic arrangement regarding their whereabouts at the time of the crime. One thing's for sure—nobody is leaving the concert hall until this mystery is solved!
