The more you feed it - the more it grows. No, not your pet hamster - your imagination!

Stories by writers like J.K. Rowling, Lewis Carroll and Dr Seuss feed our imaginations. They create new worlds in our minds and our own creativity e-x-p-a-n-d-s.

A song for Book Week and all year round. A spookily fun song in unison.

Feed Your Imagination
Words and music by Glyn Lehmann

Pre-chorus
My imagination is a hungry beast
Stories are the food it loves to feast on
The more I feed it, the more it grows
Where it will end nobody knows

Chorus
Feed your imagination, keep it alive
Soon it will grow to twice its size
Feed your imagination every day
And it will take you far, far, far away
Far away!

Verse 1
Hitch a ride with Harry on a magic broomstick
Follow Alice down a rabbit hole
Hang around with Huckleberry Finn and hobbits
Take me where the wild things are!

Interlude
Feed me!
I'm hungry, feed me, stories I love

repeat Chorus

Verse 2
J.K.Rowling, C.S.Lewis, Maurice Sendak
Lewis Carroll, Dr Seuss, Mark Twain
Stories that they grew in their imaginations
Are imagination food!

repeat Interlude
repeat Chorus
repeat Pre-Chorus
repeat Chorus

Outro
Far, far, far away
Feed your imagination every day!

Choral Choir (SATB divisi) - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1265239

Composed by Kirsten Duncan. A Cappella,Contemporary. Octavo. 12 pages. Shrub Creative #858085. Published by Shrub Creative (A0.1265239).

Composed by Kirsten Duncan. Contemporary choral SATB a cappella. A4, 12 pages (including covers). Published by Shrub Creative. Item number 2023-01. ISMN 9790900969910.
 
A narrative work for intermediate unaccompanied mixed choirs (SATB divisi, a cappella), setting Lewis Carroll’s epic adventure poem ‘Jabberwocky’. 

Score includes piano reduction for rehearsal, and pronunciation guide.

In Lewis Carroll’s ‘Jabberwocky’, published in his 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass, a “beamish boy� sets out on an adventure through a mysterious land populated by fantastical creatures, vanquishes a fearsome beast and returns triumphantly home. Central to the enduring appeal of the poem is Carroll’s linguistic creativity. 

There are at least 16 other choral settings of ‘Jabberwocky’, so why choose this one? Like most, Kirsten Duncan’s composition seeks to express the meanings of the words and actions in the text through musical ideas. Unlike most, this piece is composed for intermediate to advanced mixed adult choirs (SATB divisi) without any instrumental accompaniment, and combines the tradition of Anglican chant (evident in the final stanza) with a mood of fireside storytelling for a ripping musical yarn of high adventure. 

Kirsten Duncan has had a lifelong passion for choral singing. Now based in Canberra, Australia, she has performed with Gaudeamus (Judith Clingan), Hamburg International School (ISH) Singers, the choirs of Christ Church St Laurence Sydney (Dr Neil McEwan), The Resonants (Helen Swan) and others. Kirsten started composing choral music in 2015, contributing to the musical community that has been a stabilising thread throughout her life. She especially thanks Helen Swan and The Resonants for giving voice to this composition.
