Ich wollt, ich wär ein Huhn is a wonderful comic song associated with the
The Comedian Harmonists. The words were by Hans Fritz Beckmam and the music by
Peter Kreuder. Being a total
Comedian Harmonist fan, I was delighted when Britta Steeken selected this piece along with
Mein kleiner grüner Kaktus to be sung by
Das Trio.
We sang a SSAB arrangement by Erich Unterholzer which can be found in
Chor aktuell junior published by
Gustav Bosse Verlag. This arrangement does not use all the verses but is intended as a potpourri to flow into
Mein kleiner grüner Kaktus. My voice, bass, does not have much to remember - its just "dock, dock, dock, dock, dock, dock" suppose to imitate a hen's cackle.
