Scherzo: Cat and Mouse

The “cat and mouse chase” has been a part of folklore and popular culture since the time of pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Over the ages, the chase has served as a metaphor for the suspenseful and sometimes alternating relation between hunter and hunted. In the modern age, the story has been played out hundreds of times in popular animated cartoons, often accompanied by a musical score representing the energetic spirit of the chase with lively twists and turns, sudden surprises and tongue-in-cheek music. In this spirit of playfulness and suspense, Robert Spittal has created a marvelous work that is both entertaining and exhilarating.

The Cat of Cats

Above the purring arpeggios in the piano accompaniment, the voices sing melodic and harmonic intervals which are predominantly from the whole tone scale. The singing is effectively frames by the whispering phrase, The everlastingcat! in varied rhythms.
