David Farrell - As I Was Going to St. Ives

from Little Old, Little New, Little Bloom by Varied

/

about

"I wrote this with rhythm front and center. The music switches between very strict, regular rhythms and a more open and free way of experiencing time. The number seven is at the core of the rhyme, and so the music counts to seven frequently - both literal counting, and cycling through a series of seven chords."
-David Farrell

lyrics

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Every wife had seven sacks.
Every sack had seven cats.
Every cat had seven kitts
Kitts, cats, sacks, wives:
How many were going to St. Ives?
