Christmas Cradlesong - Arr. Steve Hodges

Young players have the opportunity to play in both 6/8 and 3/4 time and are challenged to perfect a wide range of dynamics, from 'pp' to 'ff.' They will also gain valuable performance experience by watching closely for ritards, fermatas, and tempo and mood changes. 'Away in a Manger,' featuring a flute obbligato and rich harmonic background scoring. A classy, sensitive arrangement that is guaranteed to please your students and audience alike. (Grade 3---Medium Easy)
