This piece
is based on a minor
version of Frère
Jacques as heard in
Gustav Mahler's first
symphony. The haunting
melody and creative
variations will capture
the students' interest
right away. The wide
range of dynamics and
contrasting styles in
this theme and variation
setting create a
beautiful piece for the
concert and festival
stage. (Correlates with
Sound Innovations for
String Orchestra, Book 1,
level 4).
