The merpeople of Atlantica took their seats in the place as the trumpets began and a small seahorse went up to present.

"His Royal Highness, King Triton!"

King Triton came riding down in a seashell chariot with dolphins pulling him as fanfare played for him and the audience roared. His trident lit up as a chandelier.

"And presenting the distinguished court composer, Horatio Thelonious Ignatius Crustaceous Sebastian!"

Two fish pulled a small seashell chariot that he rode in, waving at the audience, kazoos playing, met with a modest applause.

He pulled up next to Triton, who jacked over, whispering, "I'm really looking forward to this performance, Sebastian."

"Oh, Your Majesty! 'Dis will be 'de finest concert I have ever conducted. Your daughters and son - 'dey will be spectacular!" He flipped upside-down in his shell.

"Yes. And especially my little Arius," he said quieter, feeling pride well up in him.

"Yes, yes. He has 'de most richest voice, hm?" Mumbling under his breath as he rode away, "If only he'd show up for re-hassle once in a while..."


A spotlight appeared on Sebastian as he swam to the podium and opened his book. Looking around, he lifted his baton, striking up the band. Seashells opened, two girls in each, beginning to sing.

Daughters of Triton:
Oh, we are the daughters of Triton
Great Father who loved us and named us well

Triton proudly lifted his head at his little girls.

A giant seashell slowly rose in the middle of the stage, the sisters circling around it.

Daughters of Triton:
And then there is the youngest in his musical debut
Our only little brother, we're presenting him to you
To sing a song Sebastian wrote, his voice is simply bliss
