"The Monk’s Turned Topsy-Turvy" is an original fantasy for concert band, based on the old French-Canadian children’s song, "Ah! Si mon moine voulait danser! (Danse, mon moine, danse)." The title is a play on words: "moine" means both "monk" and "spinning top" in French. The lyrics speak of persuading "mon moine" to dance by offering various articles of clothing, such as a hood or cap. Originally composed for clarinet choir and arranged for band by the composer.
Includes optional Alto, Contra Alto, and Contrabass clarinet parts and Baritone (TC) part.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global
self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular
