Faber Music has been working in collaboration with The Carl Davis Collection to develop a website for Carl Davis' new publication A Creepy Crawly Songbook.
With beautiful illustrations by Satoshi Kitamura, A Creepy Crawly Songbook consists 17 bug-related poems by Haiwyn Oram, perfectly set to music by Carl Davis. From Busy Bee and March Of The Worker Ants to Confessions Of A Praying Mantis, the songs are geared towards primary school children and the book includes a CD with backing tracks to assist with rehearsals.
"Insects share many characteristics of humans: they live to eat, procreate and die. It is the variety of ways they play this out that attracted me to Hiawyn Oram's delightful and sometimes challenging cycle of poems. Her insects polka, march, waltz and sing the Blues. I loved setting them." Carl Davis
The supporting website www.creepycrawlysongbook.com contains all of the sheet music for the songbook, available as 'print-it-yourself' downloads. Backing tracks are also available to as individual MP3 downloads.
