Bad dog!

Donna DiBella’s Bad dog! is a lively secular canon for four equal voices. The text humorously depicts a naughty canine caught in the act of stealing a baby's cake. The repetitive, playful nature of the text is perfectly suited to the canonic form, creating a sense of escalating, good-natured chaos as the voices enter one after another. The English lyrics are direct and amusing, making the story clear and engaging for both performers and listeners. This piece is ideal for choirs looking for a light-hearted and fun addition to their repertoire, offering a delightful challenge in ensemble precision and rhythmic unity.
