Alice in the White Rabbit’s House – scene for soprano and piano

Alice in the White Rabbit’s House – 

The text for this work comes from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, chapter four: “The Rabbit Sends In a Little Bill.” For the purpose of making this a first person account, I have changed some of the pronouns and adjectives accordingly.  For time considerations, I have also shortened passages to exclude the character Bert.  I see the piece as a scena, or mini-opera, exploring the natural innocence and spirit within Alice’s character. Suggestions concerning performance attitudes frequently appear above the soprano part. The main objective, however, is to entertain both performers and audience.

When you buy music on this site, you are purchasing a PDF from which to make your own copies.  While I would love to have my works widely distributed, I trust that you will make copies only for yourself and the group you represent.  Thanks.
