    Cat in the Dark was commissioned by The North Canterbury Academy of Music for performance in their Music Quarter Festival, in Rangiora, 2008. It was written for massed children’s choir in unison and 2 parts. It is a setting of a poem by NZ author Margaret Mahy. The final verse also includes a short ‘round’ in 3 parts. There are also two different instrumental accompaniments: one for piano and clarinet in B flat, and one for piano alone. The song may be transposed to suit the requirements of the choir.

Carol Shortis  

Smile Song

 Year: 2008
for treble voices and piano

  • Programme Note

    This piece was written in 2008, using a well-known ‘folk text’ about how smiling can be a contagious activity. The tune has a very familiar swing to it, as Carol’s intent was to make something that the Raroa Children’s Choir would pick up quickly and have fun singing confidently. It is a very functional, no-fancy-bits kind of song for any occasion when a smile is needed. Spread it around!
