Files "cleaned" originally

Peter Ash

The Pelicantata

The Work, commissioned by Stroud Choral Society, is a musical, indeed operatic, adaptation of Roald Dahl's story "The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me"; the words are by Donald Sturrock, the music by Peter Ash. Read here about how the Pelicantata was born.

With the approval of the Composer, Stroud Choral Society also commissioned, for use as Rehearsal Aids, the Midi Files listed below.

The World Premiere of the Work will be/was at Bath Abbey early in 2017.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work. Note that at various places throughout the Work one or more Voice is divided, for some (or all) bars, into upper and lower parts, and the Files for these are shown separately. Where a Voice is not divided there is show only a single File, which should be sung by both parts.
