The Five Little Chickens
(SA, piano) 3'00"
(Order from Shawnee/Mark Foster or music retailer)
The chickens' dilemma erupts in a barnyard flurry of clucking and squawking!
Listen (mp3, 3.6 MB; Lawrence (KS) Children's Choir, Janeal Krehbiel conducting)
Composer's Notes:
This was first performed by the Northfield (MN) Youth Choirs in 1990. The poem is an anonymous little ditty about some chickens that are looking for a bite to eat. The chorus parts are not difficult, and the piano part is fun as it scratches and clucks along. (The children get to squawk at the end, too!)
