The poem has a clear structure (verse – chorus), and the vocal parts are kept straightforward. The striking piece contains some jazzy chords and humorously unexpected twists. This work won the first prize in the 2013 Composition Competition of the European Choral Association in the frame of the festival Youth choirs in Movement.

It should be fairly straightforward for most choirs – no divisi, no extremes of range. One feature is that the tenor part only goes up to D – this will enable "spare" basses to help out if necessary. I'm happy to share the sheet music free of charge – please contact me for the PDF. • Facebook: david.basden.9 • New email: deebee123 [at] bigpond.com
