Unlikely Company : a Halloween quodlibet (PDF)
SATB choir acappella with optional percussion
Words and Music by M Ryan Taylor

A quodlibet or ‘what you will’ is a group of songs that can all be sung at the same time. “Unlikely Company” features five songs featuring a strange mix of Halloween creatures: the Fay, the Troll, the Frankenstein Monsters, the Banshee and Bug-a-boo. The original quodlibet is from a set in my children’s songbook “Thirteen for Halloween” called “3 Quodlibets for a Gaggle of Ghouls". This arrangement of that simple version takes full advantage of the resources of an SSATB choir and adds a frame drum for fun. Hope you have fun with it and happy Halloween!

The “Thirteen for Halloween” songbook is available at SongsForTeaching.com. There is also a “Thirteen for Halloween” CD available. These both feature different arrangements of this same Halloween quodlibet.
