Abstract

With this booklet, our collection has arrived at a further stage in Cantata's engagement with Aesop, marked by the mp3 available online by contrast with a disc earlier published with the book. The mp3 consists of not just the music but the whole booklet. Music by Dean Jones. The lyrics and music are also printed at the end of the book. The pattern is set by the song "O Susanna." Readers are invited to sing along. This version is strong on illustrating the ineffective early efforts of the crow, who finds a picnic table unattended. The song's refrain is "When you have a problem, don't just sit and cry. Look hard to find an answer. You'll see one if you try." The picnic people return at the end to the surprise of their pitcher filled with rocks. Rhyming quatrains.
