Here is my 1976 Oratorio on Winnie the Pooh (Poohratorio) for alto voice, spoken parts, guitar and various optional other instruments
Great fun for young and old. 
It uses the whole of Chapter 8 of A A Milne's Now we are six -The expotition to the North Pole, which is now in the public domain in the USA.

The pdf file is the score based on the alto and guitar parts with spoken voices provided in text on the score.


CHAPTER 8 ...IN WHICH CHRISTOPHER ROBIN LEADS AN EXPOTITION TO THE NORTH POLE

ONE fine day Pooh had stumped to the top of the Forest to see if his friend Christopher Robin was interested in Bears at all. 
At breakfast that morning (a simple meal of marmalade spread lightly over a honeycomb or two) he had suddenly thought of a new song. It began like this:

Sing Ho! For the life of a Bear.

When he had got as far as this, he scratched his head, and thought to himself That's a very good start for a song, but what about the second line? He tried singing Ho, two or three times, but it didn't seem to help. Perhaps it would be better, he thought, if I sang Hi for the life of a Bear. So he sang it . . . but it wasn't. Very well, then, he said, I shall sing that first line twice, and perhaps if I sing it very quickly, I shall find myself singing the third and fourth lines before I have time to think of them, and that will be a Good Song. Now then:

Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear! 
Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear! 
I don't much mind if it rains or snows, 
'Cos I've got a lot of honey on my nice new nose! 
I don't much care if it snows or thaws, 
'Cos I've got a lot of honey on my nice clean paws! 
Sing Ho! for a Bear! 
Sing Ho! for a Pooh! 
And I'll have a little something in an hour or two! 
He was so pleased with this song that he sang it all the way to the top of the Forest, and if I go on singing it much longer, he thought, it will be time for the little something, and then the last line won't be true. So he turned it into a hum instead.   ..... etc.

As I sat one morning by the water, I noticed the sunlight twinkling and sparkling as it reflected off of it. It was so peaceful and beautiful. I wondered about a song that I might reference it. I decided to compose a lullaby for a mother singing to her baby. I think of eyes that twinkle and sparkle and your child definitely has eyes that reflect that. At least I know mine did.
There is a piano accompaniment mp3 for sale if you don't play.

Lyrics:

My Baby

(A Mother’s Lullaby)

Composed by Connie Boss

 

Refrain:

My baby, your eyes, twinkle and they sparkle

My baby, just like sunlight on the water

 

Verses:

 

I fell in Love with you when I saw your face

You are my baby, no one can take your place

 

Refrain:

 

I count your fingers and then your little toes

Each time I look at you, my love for you grows

 

Refrain:

 

Your cheeks were made to kiss and I just can’t resist

To kiss your little nose and your little toes

 

Refrain:

 

Bridge:

 

We play pat-a-cake and play peek-a-boo

These are all the things that you love to do

We snuggle close. Rock you to sleep

And lay you down without a peep

 

Refrain:

 

Ending:

 

My baby, My baby

Composed by Shaun Parry. A Cappella,Christian,Christmas,Traditional. Score. 7 pages. MusicforMillions #4995115. Published by MusicforMillions (A0.935513).

Written in the style of classic Christmas carols with fun, memorable melody and lyrics, this new Christmas song will quickly become a part of your caroling tradition. By and large, Christmas music is either sacred or secular -- about Jesus, Mary, the shepherds and angels or about presents and parties and mistletoe. We live them both simultaneously. This carol represents that, with the first verse being a patter of Christmas excitement and the second more lyrical focusing on the advent of the Savior. Then, just as in life, they are sung together, complimenting each other. We end in unison with a glorious and memorable refrain Nativity mangers make friends out of strangers with peace on earth, good will to all men.

This song has the potential to become a regular part of Christmas carol canon sung by millions around the world.

* Perfect for school or church Christmas concerts.
* Great for families around the fireplace or out caroling.
* Bells/Chimes add a beautiful touch but it can also be performed with just piano and voices or even a capella. I have even enjoyed singing to guitar or ukulele.
* Written to be sung by two groups, however, there is a cut version (explained in print) that does not require splitting. It can be sung straight through without overlapping the verses.
* Some harmony parts are indicated in the vocal line. Of course you can sing the melody in unison all the way through, but there are ample opportunities to break out into fun 2,3 and (in some places) 4-part harmonies. Up to you.
