This is an English folksong that tells of the relationship between a tailor and the mouse he cares for (even if he does bake him in an apple pie at one point). The present arrangement underscores the high spirits of the song, with lively writing for both voices and piano.

The Tailor and the Mouse

SSA Full Score

Instrument

This piece pays tribute to the Canadian Prairies, where I grew up and where the dominant feature of the landscape is the sky. After the main theme is presented quietly by the clarinets, it is completely more forecefully by horns and saxes. A soft interlude precedes a second theme, this time with flutes and vibraphone playing question-and-answer. The main theme returns with entire ensemble driving toward an assertion conclusion. Duration: approximately 3:40. Grade level: approximately 2.5.

Benjamin's first composition, for piano, is here reimagnined for string quartet. This is a short but moving work, gentle and lyrical. At just over a minute in length, it would make a nice encore for a group that wanted to send its audience from the recital hall in peace.

The text of the benediction was written by the Rev. W. Frank Harrington, senior pastor at Peachtree Church in Atlanta, Georgia, from 1971 until 1999. The musical setting, for vocal duet with piano, is spare but lyrical.
