David Avshalomov: Carl Orff Competition 2020 CHICKEN PIE

Este es un arreglo de la tradicional canción folclórica americana "Old Joe Clark" sobre un hombre rico y egoísta que tenía la casa llena de pastel de pollo. La letra original es bastante tonta, pero el verdadero Old Joe Clark no era una persona generosa o amable. Por lo tanto, para hacerlo más relevante hoy he escrito nuevos versos 2, 3 y 4 que hacen referencia a la inseguridad alimentaria mundial y a la falta de hogar entre los niños y a nuestro impulso de ayudar. Creo que los niños de 12 años son lo suficientemente maduros para lidiar con esto. Y la música en sí misma es positiva y alegre, no sombría. Es un estímulo para hacer algo ahora.

The recording is not live (that would be *far too expensive), but MIDI/NotePerformer. You must follow the score to see the words.

Please note that I wrote this as best I could per your extremely detailed guidelines, after several rounds of clarification by Gerhard Müllritter. These included:
1. Addition of stamping and clapping passages by the children.
2. Inclusion of Orff Instrument short introduction and interludes that follow the optional string quintet ones.
3. 2-part harmony in the final variation intepreted as allowing canon.
4. Assumption of intermediate or advanced technique on the Orff instruments--from 12 year olds.

I have tried sincerely to follow your instructions. I only ask that if you review this arrangement and have any issue with the disposition of the various musical forces, please do not disqualify it, but send it back to me with guidance on what needs changing.
