Calico Pie

The only thing that seems to make sense to me these days is nonsense. So I have really been enjoying the nonsense poetry of Edward Lear, and this poem made its way into being a song. Doing this work over the past week (or so) has been a great distraction during a time when we all really need serious distraction. There is nothing that feels as good to me as getting the right notes to fit in their proper places.

I also made a video with the text and pictures (drawn by Edward Lear).

The music is available on this page of the IMSLP.
