Three Blind Mice, Bert Appermont. Concert Band

THREE BLIND MICE
 
Edition No. BMP21011718

DESCRIPTION
This composition is based on the childrens song Three Blind Mice, of which the melody is featured in a range of variations: in a canon, in inversion, in minor, transformed, with changing harmonisations and orchestrations, and in different times and tempi.
The work consists of three continuous, contrasting movements:
1) Mouse March: The mice cheerfully set off while the original melody is presented as a march.
2) Hymn: In a tuneful hymn, the wonderful praises of the life of mice are sung.
3) Catch Me If You Can: In an animated chase, the farmers wife is trying to catch the mice.
Following a stirring acceleration, she cuts off their tails in accordance with the lyrics of the song. I hope this work, with its humorous touch, will be a welcome contribution to the expansion of interesting repertoire for the lower divisions.
