CHILDREN'S CHOIR

The great majority of my choral music is of the sacred variety, written for various church choirs that I have either directed

or sung in. But when I went out of my teaching element (band) and took a one-year job as a middle school choir

director, I found a totally new source of inspiration. These pieces date from that year.

IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING

Children's Choir with Piano | Words by Arranger
 

A fun 2-part arrangement of the famous tune from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite no.1, with fanciful lyrics that tell of a long-ago mountain kingdom, where the resident elves would turn curious visitors into trees...if they didn't watch out.
