Aesop'S Fables: Vocal Score

Description: for SATB and piano This engaging choral work sets five of Aesop's famous fables: 'The Hare and the Tortoise', 'The Mountain in Labour', 'The Fox and the Grapes', 'The North Wind and the Sun', and 'The Goose and the Swan'. Chilcott's masterful musical setting brings each story to life, from the groaning mountain to the dozing tortoise at the end of the race, resulting in a characterful portrayal of these moral tales that is sure to appeal to audiences of all ages. This is a wonderful addition to the choral repertory and an ideal concert work for all mixed-voice choirs. Review: The last movement, 'The Goose and the Swan', is a joy to sing and Chilcott obviously enjoyed composing it, lifting the absolutely fabulous chordal progressions from Schubert's Du bist die Ruh. Great stuff, and singable with practice for medium-plus standard choirs, Music Teahcer, 1 November 08 Table of Contents: The Hare and the Tortoise; The Moutain in Labour; The Fox and the Grapes; The North Wind and the Sun; The Goose and the Swan
