The Jabberwock

DateFriday, 30 April, 2010

One of our pieces for the competition in Cork this weekend is Säde Rissanen's 'Jabberwocky', based on Lewis Carroll's poem.

Here's the original drawing of the jabberwock by Tenniel (who was a political cartoonist but famously collaborated with Lewis Carroll). Mike - one of our frabjous tenors - thought it would be good for us to get to know exactly what it was whiffling towards us through the tulgey wood! No wonder there was so excitement when the boy (with vorpal blade in hand, bottom right) slew it! Isn't it really quite 20th Century Fox for 1865?
