Description
This sextet (2 violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos) is based on my setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis which is, in turn, based on my oratorio in which I set a chapter of Winnie the Pooh. The are tunes and light and playful.
The oratorio itself (The Poohratorio, composed in 1977) has not yet been published here due to copyright on the works of A A Milne, but the melodies are entirely mine. You may be able to guess some of the characters whose leitmotifs in the oratorio are used in this setting.
The Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis (Canticula Ursae Minoris) for men's voices is also available on musicaneo.
