The Golden Fish

SSAA a cappella - 2 minutes - medium difficulty

Arnold's poetry is quirky and humorous-- so is this setting! Your choir will have a ton of fun sliding, making bubble noises, dancing through odd time signatures and, finally... leaving us with their thoughts on the importance (or pointlessness) of falling in love.


The Golden Fish

Love is a little golden fish,
—Wondrous shy . . . ah, wondrous shy . . .
You may catch him if you wish;
He might make a dainty dish . . .
—But I . . .
—Ah, I've other fish to fry!
-George Arnold (1834-1865)
