Snowball's Chorus - (From the Opera: Science of Animals)

[CONTRALTO, no chorus] Well, since you asked so sweetly, dears, and since you've soothed my ruffled fears,
Perhaps I could be talked into a little purr, a note or two —

[Musical Purr Break - Extended Vocalise, Purring Melisma Woven into Coloratura Run, CONTRALTO]
(purring vocables, rolled and resonant, woven through an extended melismatic run — half operatic run, half literal cat-purr texture, yodeling acrobats)

AHHHHH

ahhhh-ohhhhh

ahhhhhhh.......

Purr purr purr

ahhhhhh, ohhhh,

{Purring sounds, yodelling}

ahhhhhhhhh

[Full Chorus Returns, Delighted, Overlapping with Snowball's Purr]
She purrs! She sings! She's still our queen! The finest cat this town has seen!
Oh Snowball, Snowball, stay right here, we'll love you well, year after year!
[Final Verse - All Voices, Snowball and Full Chorus Together]
[CONTRALTO, no chorus] Well, maybe I'll just stay a while—
[CHORUS:] Hooray, hooray, we see her smile!, eh?
[CONTRALTO, no chorus] But don't get used to it, my dears, eh? —
[CHORUS] We'll take your purrs for all our years!, eh!
[Final Chord - Full Orchestra and Chorus, Triumphant, Snowball's Purr Trailing Off Underneath]

[Children's Chorus - Bright, Simple, Skipping Rhythm, A Cappella-ish with Light Pizzicato. Canadian Pronounciation] Oh Snowball, Snowball, don't you go, we love you more than you can know, You solved a crime while taking naps, fairly genius way to catch a rat!!, eh? We want to hear you purr and sing, we know you are a skeptical thing — Oh Snowball, Snowball, please come back, we'll give you cream and give you snacks! [Instrumental - Light Orchestral Lift, Strings Swell, Building from Children's Voices to Full Chorus] [Full Opera Chorus - Villagers, Rousing, Rhyming, Building Grandly] Oh Snowball, Snowball, hear us sing, you clever, cunning, furry thing, You never asked to solve a crime, but darling, you're a queen this time! We'll build you statues, name you fair, we'll comb the ribbons in your hair, eh? We only ask one tiny thing — won't you purr for us and sing? [Bridge - Building, Full Ensemble] For every town has heroes all, but ours is barely one foot tall, She's furry, indolent, and vain, but oh, we'd have her back again — So Snowball, Snowball, please don't leave, we beg you, plead you, we entreat, Just one more purr, just one more song, and we'll adore you all along! [Snowball - Responding, Playful, Warming to the Attention] [CONTRALTO, no chorus] Well, since you asked so sweetly, dears, and since you've soothed my ruffled fears, Perhaps I could be talked into a little purr, a note or two — [Musical Purr Break - Extended Vocalise, Purring Melisma Woven into Coloratura Run, CONTRALTO] (purring vocables, rolled and resonant, woven through an extended melismatic run — half operatic run, half literal cat-purr texture, yodeling acrobats) AHHHHH ahhhh-ohhhhh ahhhhhhh.......
