Goodnight Songs: A Celebration of the Seasons
Illustrated by Various Artists
Music by Emily Gary and Tom Proutt
*
Terrific interview with Amy Gary, who discovered the extraordinary unpublished stash of Margaret Wise Brown works, about MWB’s musical ambitions for her words:
http://music.cbc.ca/#!/blogs/2015/7/The-secret-songs-of-Goodnight-Moon-author-Margaret-Wise-Brown-10-things-you-didnt-know
My one big question is, where is all the music written by Margaret Wise Brown? It is mentioned many times in the interview above, but why are none of her verses published which include her music?
GOODNIGHT SONGS: A CELEBRATION OF THE SEASONS is a gorgeous book. The pictures from the various artists are lush and sweet, dolce and beautiful. The songs on the CD are lovely, too. The singing and musical instrumentation are very well done and the melodies are pretty.
I just hope to heaven they’ll make some stand alone books of the verses and match with them music written by Margaret Wise Brown herself.

Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?

Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Beau – ootiful Soo – oop!
Beau – ootiful Soo – oop!
Soo – oop of the e – e – evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!
Beautiful Soup! Who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
Beau – ootiful Soo – oop!
Beau – ootiful Soo – oop!
Soo – oop of the e – e – evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!

A WordDoodle for the Illustrated song BEAUTIFUL SOUP.
Beautiful Soup is sung by Mock Turtle in ALICE IN WONDERLAND by Lewis Carroll. It’s been set to music by many different composers.
It’s fun to sing as a melodrama. The Mock Turtle is so committed to his love of soup.

I made this WordDoodle as a giveaway for a Mad Tea Party program I will conduct with Amanda the Librarian at Prince William County Public Library’s Central Community Library on Saturday March 2, 2024. We will sing lots of songs from ALICE IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. There will also be lots of fun activities.

I revamped my sing along booklet for:
BEAUTIFUL SOUP, an Illustrated Song
I’ve always loved Andy Warhol’s art, so using images of his soup can paintings was an irresistible temptation for illustrating BEAUTIFUL SOUP, a song sung by Mock Turtle in ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Eletelephony
Poem by Laura Elizabeth Richards

**********************
ELETELPHONY
Laura Elizabeth Richards
Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant—
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone—
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I’ve got it right.)
Howe’er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee—
(I fear I’d better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)
**********************
Musical Settings
*
Free score of a musical setting by Gary Bachland:

A musical setting by Kindermusic, has goofy arrangement and recording, but I think if simplified, it could be sweet and useful tune:
