Pets 4 US
By May Howlett
Regular price
$28.00
4 songs for soprano and piano and one song can include small ensemble of piano or harpsichord, flute or recorder and cello, c.14'00. Suggested Advanced grade.
In the composer's words; "Nursery rhymes and songs for children seem to have gone out of fashion, which makes me sad. As a child much younger than my sisters, I spent a great deal of time observing my pets and other creatures living in our garden, and I was intrigued by stories and songs about them. Or about fairies and other legendary creatures, especially “The Green-Eyed Dragon”, sung by international baritone, John Charles Thomas with all the gusto and imagination that made my eyes pop every time I heard it!
