for Vocal Solo and Ensemble

lyrics by Bob Gutowski
music by W. Brent Sawyer
composed 2006

This is a song from the unfinished musical, Cold Comfort, based on the book Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons (1932.) Flora Poste, our heroine, who likes things tidy tells us how she puts things in the right place to make the world a better place for all. She decides to visit her relatives in the gloomy and upside-down country farm, known as Cold Comfort Farm.
