A Lullaby, dedicated
to my new Grandson, Raphael, born 11/12/2012. Written in triple time
and in the Aeolian Mode, this gentle lullaby uses dotted rhythms and
sustained notes in all parts. Arco and pizzicato are alternated and the
melodic line is shared throughout the orchestra, with most parts in 1st
position. Students are encouraged to use whole, legato bows, to invoke
the calm, gentle nature of the lullaby. The piano part is useful in
assisting with subdivision of the beat. This piece is also useful for
trying out vibrato.
