Ogden: Scherzo For The White Rabbit: Organ: Instrumental Work

Lewis Carroll from 'Alice in Wonderland' and inspiration for this lively and fun piece of light organ music. ' . . . suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!' (when she thought it over afterwards it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this but at the time it seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat pocket and looked at it and then hurried on Alice started to her feet for it flashed across her mind that she had never beforeseen a rabbit with either a waistcoat pocket or a watch to take out of it and burning with curiosity she ran across the field after it and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.'
