The Monk’s Turned Topsy-Turvy is an original fantasy for concert band, based on the old French-Canadian children’s song, Ah! Si mon moine voulait danser! (Danse, mon moine, danse). The title is a play on words: moine means both monk and spinning top in French. The lyrics speak of persuading mon moine to dance by offering various articles of clothing, such as a hood or cap. Originally composed for clarinet choir and arranged for band by the composer.
