Jabberwocky by Thurlow Weed — Lyrics
1. 'Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe: all mimsy were the borogoves,and the mome raths outgabe.
2. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird and shunthe frumious bandersnatch!"
3. He took his vorpal sword in hand; long time the manxsome foe he sought, so rested he by the Tumtum treeand stood a while in thought.

About Jabberwocky
Thurlow Weed's setting of Jabberwocky captures the nonsensical wonder of Lewis Carroll's poem. This unison piece, written in English, brings to life the fantastical creatures and thrilling adventure of the Jabberwock's defeat. The music reflects the playful and dramatic shifts in the text, from the initial whimsical descriptions to the climactic battle. It is a delightful secular work, perfect for children's choirs or any ensemble looking for a fun and engaging musical experience that celebrates the joy of imaginative language.
