Robert S. Cohen’s original setting of Edward Lear’s poem "The Daddy Long-Legs and the Fly" brings out the satirical humor and deeper themes of the text. Scored for SSA (ICC4032) or SATB (ICC5009) voices and piano, the song uses playful musical elements to enhance the story while addressing the poem's underlying theme of not fitting in, which resonates strongly today. This witty and thought-provoking piece offers choirs an opportunity to explore both character and meaning in performance.
