Kitty and Mousie by Aldine Silliman Kieffer — Lyrics
Once there was a little kitty,
White as the snow;
In a barn he used to frolic,
Long time ago.
In the barn a little mousie
Ran to and fro;
For she heard the little kitty,
Long time ago.
Two black eyes had little kitty,
Black as a crow:
And they spied the little mousie,
Long time ago.
Four soft paws had little kitty,

About Kitty and Mousie
This charming SATB part-song, Kitty and Mousie, sets a whimsical English text that tells a familiar tale of feline pursuit. The music often features playful interplay between the voices, mimicking the light-footed action of the characters. The composer Aldine Silliman Kieffer crafts a delightful musical setting that captures the simple narrative, bringing to life the barnyard antics of the titular kitty and its quarry. This secular work, suitable for mixed choirs, offers a lighthearted programme piece that is both engaging to perform and enjoyable to hear, drawing its text from a well-known source of children's literature.
