The Wish Two Witches Wished by Greg Gilpin is a playful two-part treble piece packed with clever wordplay and rhythmic energy. This tongue-twisting tune challenges singers to articulate clearly while keeping the fun alive. Catchy and accessible, it’s an entertaining showcase for young choirs and audiences alike.
I was not familiar with this tongue twister, loved the idea of it, and thought it would make such a fun choral for the October season. I love a song that is a terrific performance piece and fills a rehearsal with great teaching moments for both the singer and director! Of course, singing the "w" is important, however, the difference between the "sh" and the "ch" can be the big challenge! Especially distinguishing the present and past-tense of "wish" vs. "wished". Other musical elements including syllabic emphasis, phrasing and dynamics, combine so that the listener understands the story of the lyric. A lot is told in such a few words, isn't it? Here are a few rehearsal ideas: 1. Ask your students what wishes do you think the witches made? 2. Is the person you wish to make the same wish, a witch? 3. What wish would you rather wish? 4. What words in each phrase are the important words? How do you make them stand out musically? 5. Ask if anyone can create another tongue twister using "sh" and "ch". 6. Is there a hand movement the singers can use to help distinguish between the "sh" and "ch" or any other musical element happening? For the performance, consider having a student or perhaps two students say the tongue twister clearly for the audience. They can actually do it as if in character, like a play, introducing the lyric and story in a fun way! I think this is the perfect piece to begin the school year for teaching as well as assessing your students. With lots of unison, echoing of parts and simple harmony, it's a quick-learn for an early fall concert, too. Sing with joy! Greg Gilpin.
