Duration : about 2 minutesThis little tale is well classified in the "Fantaisie" series, because the text, though being thouroughly written, is not of a deep philosophical scope, and its realism is very rough. It is indeed about a crocodile that can't swim, what is rather rare.The music is well coordinated. Simple, lively and cheerful, lead by the soprani and well sustained by rhythm and harmonic flow of the other voices. The tone change of the last verse creates a startle effect to illustrate the moral of the tale.A work for any choir whishing some good humour and uniqueness in their repertoire.
