Alice for female

Adding to the spirit of adventure is a lively piano accompaniment depicting the rushing and scurrying of Alice as she follows her every whim through the fantastical Wonderland. While the story is indeed child-like, the musical setting is sophisticated and certainly suitable for more advanced choirs . . . The tale that ensues is set to a frequently changing meter to capture not only the movement and energy of the story but the integrity of the text. Quartel demonstrates a mastery of story-telling through song.
