Imaginary Creatures

SATB divisi Chorus with Piano

1. Fairy

Text by Blythe and Ewan MacMullen, (ages 5 & 8) Music by Andrea Ramsey

Copyright © 2021 Andrea L. Ramsey

2. Mermaid

?

3.

* Toss hair and shake head from side to side. Sing roughly at pitch, but with a fast vibrato that mimics the neighing of a horse. Conductor can take lots of time on the gliss.

4. Imaginary Friend

5. Dragon

With fire ( q»120 )

* Separate destroys & everything with slight glottal attack.

** entire chorus makes an open-mouthed hissing sound (no ss sounds) just open-mouthed breathing, unpitched, but with crescendo and an accented finish on an unpitched/unvoiced "ah." Scream to follow should be performed by a maximum of one scream soloist in each section (8 voices, max) and should be on the beat, quickly released, and blood-curdling. (This is a reactionary scream in fear of the evil dragon.)

About W. A. Mozart:

I wonder how many people miss she sheer genius of Mozart's music because they are not familiar with the music that came before. His music is a contradiction: uniquely balanced yet Dilled with the unexpected, elegant yet often lighthearted, epitomizes the music of the day yet is forward-thinking. And given his highly reDined craftsmanship, I wonder how many people are aware of his penchant for toilet-humor? Though he was a disciplined child prodigy, a devout Catholic, and an industrious adult, the character of Mozart portrayed in this text conveys much of the mischevious impishness of the true Mozart, who composed over 600 pieces including Operas, Symponies, and Piano Sonatas yet also authored sevral naughty songs to sing with his friends at parties. Had he not died prematurely at age 35, what further musical heights would he have acheived?

About the piece, text author, and concept:

After getting absolutely sick of the inane music I'd been playing for my young children in the car, I was elated to discover Gunnar Madsen's CD "I'm Growing" featuring this song. They were delighted with this funny song about some naughty kid, and my husband and I were delighted with the enormous improvement of musical quality in our vehicle. It was shortly thereafter that this choral arrangement was born.

Gunnar writes, "In my Dirst music theory class in college, the teacher and the students were recalling the silly ways they'd been taught to remember classical melodies when they were young. One of them was for Mozart's 40th symphony (which I'd never heard) which consisted of "Now Mozart's at the window - Let him in, Let him in, Let him in". What an ear-worm! For 25 years now I've dreamt of expanding that ditty into something more substantial, and now I'm proud to present the Dinished piece. I'm really going to get a kick of sending this one to my teacher!"

Performance notes:

Diction is of the utmost importance in this piece if the audience is going to understand the humor. While the tempo should be reasonable for text delivery, articulations and ornaments should be those appropriate to the Classical Era. For excellent listening, refer to historically informed performances on period instruments, including this Dine performance by The Cleveland Baroque Orchestra, under the baton of Jeannette Sorrell:

About the arranger:

Laurie Betts Hughes (b. 1977) is a spirited conductor of creative connection who fosters community through choral singing; both community within the choir as well as between the choir and the greater community. To this end she composes choral pieces, both commissioned and uncommissioned, and builds choirs of all kinds. Though her husband runs and hides on April Fools' Day, she is an avid prankster and he is her favorite target.

For Loveliness

Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up holding wonder like a cup

Life has loveliness to sell, music like a curve of gold, scent of pine trees in the rain, eyes that love you, arms that hold, and for your spirit's still delight holy thoughts that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness, but it and never count the cost; for one white singing hour of peace count many a year of strife well lost. and for a breath of ecstasy give all you have been or could be.
