Composer’s Notes

This is the fourth in a set of four musical settings of wonderful texts by Arnold Lobel from his book Whiskers and Rhymes. I was commissioned to write them for the 1996-97 ACDA Minnesota Elementary Honors Choir, and they have since been published as separate octavos by Shawnee Press/Mark Foster Music. See “Four from ‘Whiskers and Rhymes'” for information about the entire set.
