Here my friends, we come to one of my deepest joys - writing music for little ones and younger ones that adults also enjoy.  I have written so many that it will take a long time to put up a proper sample. This is a start. More on the way.

Chicken Song
Recorded with a chorus of my kid friends, now in their mid twenties (!), this song was for a video project targeting kids' health that I created and produced along with ParticipACTION and Symphony Pictures. It has withstood the test of time. I still love it. It encourages dancing.

The song was arranged and recorded by the brilliant arranger and composer, Howard Baer.

We are Moving

This song from the same video project for children's health, is one of my all time favourites, not only because of the song itself, but because of Howard Baer's arrangement. And it has my kid friend chorus. Exquisite.

Micelings

Written for my touring multi-media children's storytelling performances, Storytelling with Phynix and Anansi, Micelings is another of my favourites. It's told from the perspective of mouse clan, who are being eaten by the local dog and cat, and must eventually sail away to a predator free land. We can all relate to that! Plus, I loved singing it in a mouse voice. Hmm.

This was written, arranged, performed and recorded by Glenn.

The picture is from a book whose story I told in my performances, 'The Island of the Skog' written and illustrated by Steven Kellogg.  A wonderful story I highly recommend.
Gilgamesh
A song written about Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, one of the oldest cities (founded by King Enmerkar sometime around 4500 BCE) that we've unearthed so far in Mesopotamia. He is generally known as the tyrant who became the compassionate ruler.

An ancient stone relief many stories high was discovered of Gilgamesh holding his pet lion some years ago

"Gilgamesh is widely accepted as the historical 5th king of Uruk whose influence was so profound that myths of his divine status grew up around his deeds and finally culminated in the tales found in The Epic of Gilgamesh (written c. 2150-1400 BCE)."
