There's a strange creature lurking down at the waterhole!
Some say it has no arms or legs, just a long tail and a big head. Others say it has long legs, a stumpy tail and big bulgy eyes. Sounds scary! Are you brave enough to find out for yourself?

A fun song for children between 5 and 9 years. They will learn about the polliwog (here's a clue; it's usually called a tadpole, ssh!). Along the way there's a subtle message about facing fears and finding things out for yourself.

For 2-parts (easy) or unison.

The Polliwog
words and music by Glyn Lehmann

CHORUS
Have you ever seen a polliwog
Hiding in the water underneath a log
Lurking in the shadows
Growing every day
I hope I never see a polliwog!
No I never want to see a polliwog!

Verse 1
Someone said they saw a polliwog
Down at the waterhole chasing a dog
It had no arms and it had no legs
A long swishy tail and a great big head

CHORUS

Verse 2
Someone said they saw a polliwog
Down at the waterhole chasing a dog
It had two arms and two short legs
A short stumpy tail and a great big head

CHORUS

Verse 3
Someone said they saw a polliwog
Down at the waterhole chasing a dog
It had a round body and two long legs
And big bulgy eyes on the top of its head 

Coda A
I began to wonder about the polliwog
Why was it changing, could it chase a dog?
Although I was frightened
I must be brave 
I really want to see a polliwog
Yes I really want to see a polliwog!

Coda B
Down at the waterhole with my dog
I went looking for the polliwog
Waiting by the water sitting on a log
Up jumped a little green frog

(spoken) And it chased my dog! Woof!

Composed by Charles McCreery. 20th Century,Children. Octavo. 6 pages. St Maur Music #4822661. Published by St Maur Music (A0.1007138).

 This song is the second in a series of ‘Fourteen Tolkien Songs’. It is headed ‘1’ because it is preceded in the set by a Prologue: ‘Farewell We Call to Hearth and Hall’, which is also available from Sheet Music Plus.

 

A comment on the collection of Tolkien songs by an Oxford piano teacher:

‘For those who only know Tolkien via the recent blood-and-thunder films, this song-cycle by Charles McCreery will give a very different angle on the classic saga. Here we find a gentle and ethereal world, where rhythms lilt and words echo. The twelve songs, suitable for choir, evoke a dreamy, water-colour landscape with no harsh sounds, the tunes are singable and in a traditional style that Tolkien would surely have approved.

Dr Julia Gasper, LGSM

 

A general comment on Charles McCreery’s music by a violinist and composer in the USA:

‘Charles McCreery’s beautifully melodic, intricately textured compositions are infused with classical, romantic and folk idioms.’

Samantha Gillogly

 

‘The Fall of Gil-galad’ is appropriate for women’s choirs, children’s choirs, schools, music students generally, and anyone with a particular interest in the work of J.R.R. Tolkien.

The MP3 which plays from this page is of the orchestral version of the song. A video illustrating this orchestral version can be seen on YouTube. Search for the YouTube identity: stmaurmusic

This traditional German canon has received a fresh, new contemporary treatment with an energized piano accompaniment that rhythmically spins and dances. Gray has cleverly utilized vocal bell sounds for the introduction and ending as well as sprinkling them throughout to bridge the main melody and canon section. The easy round format and accessible ranges help ensure success for young and developing choirs.

This well-conceived spiritual medley opens gently, builds to its peak love like an ocean section, and then sweetly fades to the end. Along the way, tuneful counterlines and unexpected pairings intertwine motives from three favorite traditional spirituals. Light instrumentation on the SoundTrax CD sounds distinctly American.
