Publisher Desc.  "The Monk's Turned Topsy-Turvy" is an original fantasy for band, based on the old French-Canadian children's song, "Ah! Si mon moine voulait danser! (Danse, mon moine, danse)." The title is a play on words: "moine" means both "monk" and "spinning top" in French. The lyrics speak of persuading "mon moine" to dance by offering various articles of clothing, such as a hood or cap.Originally composed for clarinet choir and arranged for band by the composer.
