Bright and lively, this original anthem has the feeling of a middle-European folk song. Incorporating NOEL NOUVELET, the piano and percussion bring the vibe, adorning the catchy minor melody with colorful timbres. In troubadour style, the text tells the story of faithful shepherds looking for their lost sheep. The second verse uses an ostinato to create a rustic folk band with vocal sounds instead of instruments. Unforgettable sonic joy! Score and Parts (cl, perc 1-2) avialable as a digital download.
