This composition is based on a text from "Alice in Wonderland“, which appeals children and youth choirs directly. The poem has a clear structure (verse – chorus), and the vocal parts are kept straightforward. The striking piece contains some jazzy chords and humorously unexpected twists.
With The Mock Turtle’s Song Chris Artley won the first prize in the 2013 Composition Competition of the “European Choral Association” in the frame of the festival “Youth Choirs in Movement”.
Text note
Based on text from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland"
