Let’s look at the text… Does the composer only buy a ‘fat pig’ at market? Then who is this?

Pig versus Hog The Pig The Hog Let’s compare…

Children’s views Pig… ‘He’s not as fat so he has skinnier notes’. ‘He can skip’. ‘Jiggetty jig’ ‘6/8’ Hog… ‘We have to fit in more notes because he’s fatter.’ ‘He can march’. ‘Jiggetty jog’ ‘4/4’ ‘He has shades and a scarf!’

Percussion Can you see the March Rhythm anywhere else in the score? Let’s play it on percussion. Now let’s add the animal sounds at bar 22: moo, bah, boc boc
