The first vocal score for the operatic version of C Is For Cookie is AVAILABLE NOW!

Despite the fact that Marilyn Horne's operatic rendition of one of the most iconic Sesame Street tunes has become so well-known and beloved, no sheet music for this particular version had ever been previously released. Emerging arranger-transcriber Jilly Cooke (https://www.youtube.com/c/JillyCookeMusic) has created the first-ever COMPLETE piano-vocal score for this number so that others will have the opportunity to further appreciate the musical brilliance of Dave Conner's sweeping arrangement and the clever quotes and references he infused into the instrumentation.

On top of the visual nod to the Egyptian majesty of Verdi's Aïda, the piece also utilizes the trumpets playing a quote from the opera's Triumphal March, as well as a subtle appearance of the famed Tristan chord from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde in m. 5. Conner was well-established as an orchestral conductor prior to and during his time with Sesame Street, and his deep love and profound knowledge of classical music brilliantly translated into many of the fantastic operatic production numbers featured on the show.

This arrangement of Cookie Monster's beloved song, C is for Cookie, is written for SSAA/treble voices in the a cappella barbershop style. It's the perfect song for any quartet or chorus looking for a fun addition to their show repertoire! Audiences are sure to love this jovial crowd-pleaser. Its simple and repetitive nature will make for a very quick learn! Note: there are also TTBB and SATB versions available. Be sure to search for those if you're looking for alternate voicing.

NOTE: There is a 10-copy minimum purchase. However, the per-copy price is set to the lowest possible setting at $1.99. If you want this song for a quartet, please understand that with the 10-copy minimum (10 x $1.99), you're still paying only $20 for legal access to this music. The arranger gets nearly nothing, and you're getting great legal music for $5 per quartet member.
