Abstract
This booklet continues Cantata's engagement with Aesop, marked now 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 Mark Mallman. The lyrics and music are also printed at the end of the book. The musical pattern is set by the song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." Readers are invited to sing along. The refrain here, repeated on each pair of pages, is "Don't trust those who say sweet words to you! Sometimes they might want something else, too." I find the verse here forced more than in other booklets in the series. The fox here does not start with flattery. She asks for a song, and the crow -- knowing the fox's ways -- resists. "She just wants my treat." The flattery develops later, and he forgets.
