Based on the
traditional folk tune, this simple arrangement is divided into 3
violin, 3 viola, 3 cello and 2 double bass parts. It would be ideal for
an ensemble of mixed abilities: Every instrument can either play the
melody, or one of the harmony or bass line parts. Alternatively,
students can take turns picking one of the parts and changing lines
during rehearsals – or even through the performance, as the 3 parts
appear on the page as either A, B or C. Written in D Major, it is in
Rondo form, and explores the use of pizzicato, accidentals and
minor tonalities between the well-known melodic sections.
