The Hubbard Saga an Old Mother Hubbard cantata written and performed for Sale Festival 2001. It follows the antics of the fabulous dog of Old Mother Hubbard (with one added 21st century anachronism!). The children’s chorus echoes the barking of the dog whilst the adult choir takes us through the story. Then the children tell us the story of the poet herself (Sarah Catherine Martin). There is some emotion as the dog dies (twice!) and there is a fun jig with flute and clarinet solos which forms the centrepiece from the compositional point of view.
For:
Children’s choir (in 2 parts)
Adult choir (SATB)
Flute
Clarinet
String quartet
