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.

Choral Choir (Mixed) - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.575587

Composed by David Warin Solomons. Christian,Contemporary,Sacred. Octavo. 15 pages. David Warin Solomons #2026217. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.575587).

Version for double choir men's voices (ATB-ATB) This setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis (called Canticula Ursae Minoris - songs of a little bear) is based on my oratorio in which I set a chapter of Winnie the Pooh (Now we are six - The Expotition to the North Pole). The tunes are and light and playful but the complexity makes it suited to a Cathedral or Church setting. The oratorio itself (The Poohratorio, composed in 1977) has not yet been published here due to copyright on the works of A A Milne, but the melodies are entirely mine. You may be able to guess some of the characters whose leitmotifs in the oratorio are used in this setting. In particular, the lesser doxology (Glory be to the Father) makes great use the theme of Eeyore, the complaining donkey. The sound sample is performed by Matthew Curtis of choraltracks.com.

Composed by Carson Cooman. Children,Contemporary. Score and parts. 16 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3039007. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533705).

I. Cloud Song
II. Bear Song
Pooh’s Serenade (2002) for bassoon, cello, and piano was commissioned by hrCME
for Arts First 2002. The work is dedicated to Lembit Beecher, in appreciation for
what he has done for the ensemble. The “Pooh� of the title is, of course, Winnie-the-
Pooh, the lovable bear from A. A. Milne’s books of stories, Winnie-the-Pooh (1926)
and The House at Pooh Corner (1928).
The work is cast in two short movements. The basic musical material is shared
between the movements. Each is inspired by a different one of Pooh’s “songs.� The
first movement, Cloud Song, was inspired by Pooh’s song as he pretends to be a
cloud, floating through the air tied to a balloon – attempting to fool some bees as he
steals their honey. The second movement, Bear Song, is inspired by one of Pooh’s
happiness songs: “Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!“
This work may be performed in one of two ways: (1) The movements may be played
together as a chamber piece. The notes above should be printed in the program – and
possibly the texts as well. (2) A narrator could be used to read the poems before the
playing of each movement – and perhaps read also some extracts (to provide context
for the poems) from the Milne stories.
