This clever quodlibet takes a collection of the most easily recognizable children's songs and mashes them up in a delicious way. The musical form of combining and overlapping popular melodies has delighted, entertained and occasionally scandalized audiences since at least the 15th century -- it is found in music from Ludwig Senfl to JS Bach's Goldberg Variations -- and the example presented here has as much light-hearted humor as any historical specimen.
