Song from Leonard Bernstein's Broadway musical West Side Story.
KS2 idea: An example of music creating mood, the strong feature is alternating 3/4 and 6/8 metre.
Try clapping, tapping or walking along with this alternating pulse, which creates it's own rhythm.
Some good examples of contrasting texture throughout.
