Unless there is also a separate choral arrangement, the "For I will
consider my cat Jeoffry" movement of this cantata is for treble solo, not a
quartet. It is a great piece, though -- the whole work is much fun to sing
(especially the solo alto movement, "For the Mouse is a creature of great
personal valour").
