A Little Nonsense

SKU: 11867

Price:
AU $18.13

Label: Decca Cat. No.: 442 9077 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

Decca's popular release of Nursery Rhymes with Kenneth McKellar and Very Lynn is followed up with a collection from Owen Brannigan.

Originally an HMV/EMI release it has been licensed exclussively for Australia and includes hilarious settings of rhymes, many in the style of Handel.

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the Wisest Men."

This record presents a rich feast of the nonsensical in word and sound, which should satisfy the appetite of even the wisest among us, young or old. Owen Brannigan, besides having made an enviable reputation as a singer of serious music of every type, built up a vast public for the radio and television broadcasts and concerts in which he sang folk-songs, North Country ballads and humorous songs of all sorts in an inimitable manner. Here is this side of Brannigan's art at its best. Besides unaccompanied folk songs, there are orchestral settings of three of Edward Lear's Nonsense Songs, two of Hilaire Belloc's Cautionary Tales and four parodies of the style of Handel to the words of nursery rhymes. Add to these two of Ronald Binge's fantasies on children's songs and two more by Herbert Hughes and Victor Hely-Hutchinson and it will be seen that the menu of our feast is not only rich but varied and unusual.
