Of course, not everyone knows “Jabberwocky” as well as I do, and, since many of the words in the poem were made up by the author, it can be difficult to make sense of the singing. I decided, therefore, to combine the poem and the YouTube video on a single page. Some screens will not be wide enough to view this page from edge-to-edge—sorry about that—but you can , if necessary, start the video and scroll to the right to follow along with the words.
One word in the song seems to have been changed by Pottle, though I cannot imagine why. In any case, the text shown is Carroll’s poem as originally published.
Conducting is Brady Allred, formerly of Duquesne U and Bach Choir of Pittsburgh. He did this a number of years back with the NY Summer School of the Arts kids at Chautauqua. They seemed to love it.
ReplyDeleteI was perusing your article and thought about whether you had considered making a digital book on this subject. You're composing would offer it quick. You have a ton of composing ability. CalDecPrint.com
