One, two, three, four, paper hat. Who doesn’t know it? The children’s song from the past that is indelibly engraved in the memory of many adults. From an old newspaper a hat was made which was put on the head while singing this song. In this musical fantasy the theme of this famous song gets many forms. From pop to rock but also minor in a waltz and even in a fugue. All this was written in five parts which can be divided among various instruments by preference and with three extra percussion parts.
