Product Description

Duet based on the anonymous English poem about a centipede - the creature was quite happy with its hundred legs until a frog asked it to think about which leg comes after which... it then lay distracted in a ditch considering how to run... The sound sample is the English version, sung in B flat It can be sung by two solo voices or by a two part choir of any kind. Versions are available in English (B flat major and D major) German (F major and D major) and in French (F major and D major) the pdf file contains all of these versions. A video of the English original (in B flat) can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo25CSSE5eU These are the words of my French version of the song Un cent-pattes était bien content Mais la grenouille l'interroge «Comment sais-tu quelle patte va avant C'est la gauche ou droite ou quoi?» ça lui fait penser, mais beaucoup trop l'immobilise tout en chaos il ne peut plus marcher droit. Il commence un pas, s'arrête encore, Des pat-tes gauches se lèvent Il bouge ses droites en octuors Et trébuche comme dans un rêve oui ça fait penser, et beaucoup trop l'immobilise tout en chaos il ne peut plus marcher droit. These are the words of my German version of the song Einem Hundertfüßler ging's ganz wohl Bis ein Frosch ihn schlau befragte "Weisst du welcher Fuss nach vorne geht?" Singen wir: "rechts links links rechts"! Dann besann er sich und dachte nach Seine Beine wirbelten hundertfach Und er konnte nicht mehr geh'n Er versucht 'nen Tritt und blieb da steh'n Alle fünfzig linke Beine Kamen aufwärts und er stolperte Und die rechten folgten nicht Dann besann er sich und dachte nach Seine Beine wirbelten hundertfach Und er konnte nicht mehr geh'n
