This was the background music to my son Ben's sixth-grade science project in 1996, where he had filmed squirrels encountering various types of bird-feeder barriers, trying to discover which was best. So imagine squirrels falling off bird feeders into the snow and running away, only to come back and try again.

Perfect music for that scenario!
I don't remember the repertoire, but I was in the audience at the Interlochen summer music camp when a clumsy squirrel fell from the rafters into the middle of the second violins. There was a loud gasp from the audience when people saw the squirrel fall and then lie motionless on the floor, and cheering when about a minute later the squirrel groggily arose and then made a not-very-straight-or-stable exit stage right.
To their credit, the teen musicians of the orchestra and the conductor continued as if nothing unusual was happening.
If you somehow come across that video, I will be happy to get it up on YouTube somehow for general consumption,
I'll ask Tracy what form it is stored in.
