Online Contest: A Hodgepodge of Hedgehogs!

One of the "edgier" (others may say "off the wall") pieces in Spirit Journey is Igel und Agel, which stars a pair of star-crossed . . . hedgehogs. Poet Christian Morgenstern employs words both nonsensical and fantastic, leaving plenty of room for a variety of interpretations. This Morgenstern web site has the German urtext as well as a translation by Max Knight. Some of our choir members have tried their hand at translations and interpretations which you will find here. Now it's your turn!


Working either from the original German or the Knight translation, write your own interpretation (in English, please.)

Entries must be posted on the Chor Leoni web site through the comment function at the bottom of the Igel und Agel page. Submissions by email, Canada Post, or carrier pigeon will be rejected.

  • First Prize: Two tickets to No Holds Bard, our raucous and wildly popular summer show at the Bard tent. Your choice of performance.
  • Second & Third Prize: A box of chocolate hedgehogs from Purdys.
  • Entries must be received by March 15, 2007.
