5. Come Play (lyrics by the composer)

The five canons are contrasting in mood, from the juvenile "Dinosaur," to the upbeat "Come play," to the serious and idealistic statement of "Le rêve," to the sinister "Le corbeau," to the peacefully contented "Afternoon on a Hill."
Owing to their intended audience, all of these canons are at the unison/octave. Three of them (2, 3, and 5) are two-part "echo-canons," where the imitative voices begins very soon after the first one (two beats later in each case here).
The other two canons, based on pre-existing texts, adopt the more common structure of following a chord progression that proceeds over several measures (albeit an irregular, 7-measure, elided phrase in "Le Rêve").
