Talking to my Shoe is the first piece in a collection of four pieces by Paul Stanhope. This version is for SSA and piano.
Composer Paul Stanhope writes:
Losing the Plot is a collection of songs for children's voices and piano with texts by Michael Leunig. They were written as a follow up to my earlier cycle of Leunig pieces called Songs of Innocence and Joy for treble voices and chamber orchestra.
The first of these pieces, Talking to My Shoe was commissioned and premiered by the Sydney Children's Choir as part of their 15th anniversary in 2004. The remaining three songs in the cycle were commissioned by the Network of Treble Ensembles (NoTE) which includes Brisbane Biralee Voices, Gondwana Voices, Young Adelaide Voices and Young Voices of Melbourne. All the songs in this set are tinged with an exuberant sense of the absurd, but as usual with Leunig's texts, there are many layers of meaning and often twists in the tale.
The songs are written for upper-primary to high-school aged treble voices mostly in unison and two parts. In two songs - Talking to My Shoe and La-La Land - the choir splits into three parts, but only in a couple of short passages. A more difficult version of this piece also exists with the voices divided into three parts. Talking to My Shoe Composer: Paul Stanhope Publisher: Morton Music Instrument: Choral
