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.)
