Synopsis: 
    The camel-drivers gradually approach; the cries of beggars for "Back-sheesh" 
are heard; the beautiful princess enters carried by her servants, (she is 
represented by a theme, given first to Bassoon, Clarinet, and Saxophone, then 
repeated by full Band) - she stays to watch the jugglers and snake-charmer.  The 
Caliph now passes through the market and interrupts the entertainment, the 
beggars are heard again, the princess prepares to depart and the caravan resumes 
its journey; the themes of the princess and the camel-drivers are heard faintly 
in the distance and the market-place becomes deserted.
