Choral Choir (Unison) - Digital Download SKU: A0.973049 Composed by Francis Kayali. Children,Concert,Contemporary. Octavo. 7 pages. Francis Kayali #6252909. Published by Francis Kayali (A0.973049). A collection of five canons for children or amateur adult choir: 1.   Afternoon on a Hill  (Edna St. Vincent Millay)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiUMt21kgv8 2.   Le corbeau (lyrics by the composer)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLnJ03uyqZQ 3.   Once, a Dinosaur Jumped in my Bath (lyrics by the composer) 4.   Le rêve  (Émile Zola)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbL3bUhClLk5.   Come Play (lyrics by the composer)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W_U662MB6cThe five canons are contrasting in mood, from the juvenile Dinosaur, to the upbeat Come play, to the serious and idealistic statement of Le rêve, to the sinister Le corbeau, to the peacefully contented Afternoon on a Hill. Owing to their intended audience, all of these canons are at the unison/octave. Three of them (2, 3, and 5) are two-part echo-canons, where the imitative voices begins very soon after the first one (two beats later in each case here). The other two canons, based on pre-existing texts, adopt the more common structure of following a chord progression that proceeds over several measures (albeit an irregular, 7-measure, elided phrase in Le Rêve).

Choral Choir (Unison) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.969530 Composed by Zachary Damm and Zachary Damm. Contemporary,Renaissance. Octavo. 11 pages. Digital Print Publishing #2927293. Published by Digital Print Publishing (A0.969530). The Canon Yeoman's Lament is a song from the perspective of one of Geoffrey Chaucer's characters from the Canterbury Tales--the Canon Yeoman. In Chaucer's famous work, this unfortunate dupe recounted his misfortunes at the hands of the Canon, a.k.a, Alchemist, as well as the plight of one of the Alchemist's many swindled customers. The song is written for unison choir with a piano accompaniment. It also includes a short play at the end that dramatizes Chaucer's rendition of the Canon Yeoman's Tale. The play requires a minimum of six players and would be excellent as a skit for secondary students. The Canon Yeoman's Lament could conclude the play or, if given a brief verbal introduction, it could stand on its own as a humorous interjection highlighting the perils from swindlers, both past and present. This tongue-in-cheek song captures Chaucer's legendary humor for modern audiences!
