Jack and Jill

Arthur Creassey Tattersall sets the familiar nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill in this four-part setting for SATB choir. The simple, narrative text describes the unfortunate tumble of the two characters as they attempt to fetch water, a scene Tattersall brings to life with vivid musical characterisation. The humour inherent in the rhyme is often captured in the music, making for a light-hearted and engaging concert piece. This is a well-crafted, enjoyable setting of a classic English text, perfect for choirs looking for a charming and accessible addition to their programme. The piece is sung in English.
