- Abstract
- en_US This is the story of the rooster and dog who were friends. The fox tries to lure the rooster down, here ostensibly to sing some hymns together! The rooster recommends him to the sexton below, who will toll the bell. The poor fox does not realize that he will encounter a dog! The latter chews off his tail. There are six pieces for the piano here, as the beginning T of C makes clear. They include The Friends, Hum! A Meal!, Fox Serenade, Ask the Sexton, Ouch, My Tail!, and Sad Fox. Each piece has a full-page black-and-white illustration. The pieces are wordless, but there are a couple of prose lines before each song. This version does a good job of sustaining the church imagery introduced by the reference to hymns.
