"Sabre Dance" has an A and B sections, followed by a bridge, a return of the A section, and then a coda. The song begins with section A where the theme is heard four times. The last two times are a third higher. Section B is the woodwind section. Here only the woodwind instruments and timpani are playing. The bridge follows the B section. In the bridge, the xylophone is playing a repeated pattern while the trombone plays a series of glissandos ( a glissando is sliding up and down a musical scale rapidly). Section A is then repeated where the theme is heard three times. The second repetition of the theme is interrupted by a cymbal crash. The third repetition of the theme is played higher. The coda has a descending line followed by a rise that moves toward the final note.
