The Hubbard Saga was written specially for Sale Festival 2001 and follows the antique antics of the fabulous dog of Old Mother Hubbard. The children's chorus echoes the barking of the dog whilst the adult choir takes us through the story. Then the children -- one by one tell us the story behind the poem itself.
The forces are:
Children's choir (in 2 parts)
Adult choir (SATB)
Flute
Clarinet
String quartet
