Product Description
Ravel wrote 3 Chansons while waiting to be enlisted in the military during World War 1. This is the only piece that he wrote for acapella choir. This is the 3rd movement, and it makes a great instrumental quartet piece.
The song is about adults telling their children not to go into the woods of Ormond because there are monsters there. What makes the song fun is the list names of all of the monsters that reside in these woods. I've added the lyrics on my title page just as a reference, since as an instrumental quartet, this won't be conveyed to your audience.
That said, whether you know what his piece is about or not, it's still quite charming! This arrangement is for Piccolo, 2 C flutes and alto. There is an optional Flute 3 part that can be played in place of an alto.
