John Muehleisen, Three Limericks
TTBB (div); a cappella; English (Edward Lear)
11′ 49″.

Requires a highly skilled men’s ensemble with a broad vocal range
(meaningful low D to treble clef C), and bold abandon in improvised vocal sounds
(animal noises). All three limericks are about ‘an old person;’ alternately humorous
and moving. Not easy, but worth it and lots of fun for a top-fl ight group of men!
