This short cantata set in a jazz idiom makes an ideal end-of-term concert which should be performed strictly for fun! Scored for unison voices with up to four short solos piano accompaniment plus guitar chords. The chorus gives enthusiastic youngsters the opportunity to growl as the lions in the den and click fingers to the blues! The now famous series of Novello pop cantatas originated from this well-known work. Words by Vachel Lindsay.

This charming unison piece expresses a child-like wonder and amazement at the simple things in nature: a singing bird a bubbling stream the warm sun and the budding trees. Very musical and singable treble choirs will enjoy theimagery and musicality. Duration: ca. 3:00.
