Published by Glyn Lehmann (A0.510166). There's a strange creature lurking down at the waterhole!Some say it has no arms or legs, just a long tail and a big head. Others say it has long legs, a stumpy tail and big bulgy eyes. Sounds scary! Are you brave enough to find out for yourself?A fun song for children between 5 and 9 years. They will learn about the polliwog (here's a clue; it's usually called a tadpole, ssh!). Along the way there's a subtle message about facing fears and finding things out for yourself.For 2-parts (easy) or unison.The Polliwogwords and music by Glyn LehmannCHORUSHave you ever seen a polliwogHiding in the water underneath a logLurking in the shadowsGrowing every dayI hope I never see a polliwog!No I never want to see a polliwog!Verse 1Someone said they saw a polliwogDown at the waterhole chasing a dogIt had no arms and it had no legsA long swishy tail and a great big headCHORUSVerse 2Someone said they saw a polliwogDown at the waterhole chasing a dogIt had two arms and two short legsA short stumpy tail and a great big headCHORUSVerse 3Someone said they saw a polliwogDown at the waterhole chasing a dogIt had a round body and two long legsAnd big bulgy eyes on the top of its head Coda AI began to wonder about the polliwogWhy was it changing, could it chase a dog?Although I was frightenedI must be brave I really want to see a polliwogYes I really want to see a polliwog!Coda BDown at the waterhole with my dogI went looking for the polliwogWaiting by the water sitting on a logUp jumped a little green frog(spoken) And it chased my dog!

Choral Choir (SA) - Digital Download SKU: A0.561597 Composed by Charles Dickens, Samuel Stokes, William C. Dix, and William Morris. Arranged by SamuelStokesMusic.com. Christian,Christmas,Contemporary,Hip-Hop,Musical/Show. Octavo. 47 pages. SamuelStokesMusic.com #3567955. Published by SamuelStokesMusic.com (A0.561597). EBENEZER is a one-act musical based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The music is a blend of hip-hop and traditional Christmas carols. The adaptation is suitable for performance by adults or teens alike. Four of the lead roles take on the greatest musical challenge with their rap numbers, but the choir parts are more generally accessible as they are based on familiar carols, making the musical appropriate for colleges, high schools, middle schools, church groups, and community theatre groups.This libretto contains the full play script and vocal sheet music. Purchase of this libretto kit entitles the purchaser to reproduce the appropriate number of copies for the cast and crew of the production. Please note that royalties must also be paid for each performance (visit https://www.SamuelStokesMusic.com for royalty information). The musical is scored for 2-part choir and rap soloists with MP3 accompaniment tracks (available separately). If desired, the musical can also be performed with unison choir singing the melody only. There is the also the optional opportunity for two violins to perform onstage and for a percussionist to play the chimes offstage (MP3 tracks are also available for these underscoring cues).The musical demo available on this page is an excerpt from the number Jacob Marley - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, in which Ebenezer Scrooge's former partner returns from the dead to warn him that he must change his ways or suffer the fate of eternally roaming the earth in chains. There is also a teaser video of this musical number at: https://youtu.be/4nPryAZUnDYNote on printing: this libretto has been formatted with pages intentionally left blank, so that it can be printed properly on the front and back of the paper. Also, there are one-inch margins on the left and right for ease of binding into folders or binders.

Published by James W. Shubert (A0.1500319). 2 part choir (treble/bass clef voices) with piano accompaniment. Easy Intermediate Level. This is the sad story of the fourth wise man, Sam, who along with Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar, followed the star to find the baby Jesus and give Him gifts. Unfortunately for Sam, the documents that point to his participation were only recently discovered and he has been left out of the canon of christmas music... until now.If you were to purchase this music, please do not plan on using it during a service. I would never use this during a service, but plan on having my choir perform it during the 30 minute Carol Sing they do prior to the Christmas Eve service.Arranged with a range-challenged choir in mind.

Adrienne Inglis (ASCAP) #873161. Published by Adrienne Inglis (ASCAP) (A0.1281812). Boy at Sea (2023) for TB choir and piano is great for community choruses looking for something fun, easy, and interesting for lower voices! TB and pianoText: excerpts from a 1915 letter by Robert Inglis to the Commissioner of PensionsDuration about 5 minutesDifficulty 2 (Advanced high school, collegiate or community chorus) Language: EnglishSheet music is available for purchase soon.Performances:8 Aug 2023 Inversion Coda performed Boy at Sea at Spider House Ballroom Austin, Texas (world premiere)Commissioned by Inversion Ensemble for Coda’s Tales of the Sea concert in August 2023, Boy at Sea by Adrienne Inglis for tenor and bass chorus with piano recounts the sea-faring adventures of the composer’s great-grandfather as a boy. The text comes from a letter that Robert Inglis wrote in 1915 to the Commissioner of Pensions asking for a raise in his civil war pension. In providing information apparently requested by the Pension office, Robert details many events in his early years, adding a fair bit of sarcasm and wit to the narrative. The composer edited the content to fit into more of a strophic sea-shanty style. The piano part offers a sense of ocean waves as well as a few popular tunes of the day as commentary on the story. When he and his sister were in boarding school in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, he witnessed a historic yacht race. The following year, they sailed across the Atlantic with the family of their father’s third wife. Life with his stepmother must have been unbearable, because he “went to sea†time after time to escape the unpleasantness she brought to bear. The final departure left him shipwrecked on Hatteras with drunken shipmates. He made his way to Maryland where, to his horror, he witnessed a slave auction. Sensing the tension and possibly inspired to action, he headed west to join the 20th Indiana Infantry. He later served in the 51st Pennsylvania, the Provost Guard, and the U. S. Navy. He fell off of a train in 1863, leaving him injured and in pain for the rest of his life.https://adrienneinglis.com/.
