composed by David Bobrowitz

An optional woodblock part is included to evoke the sound of clog dancing

with some pizzicato and hooked bowings

and the piece culminates in an exciting combination of the two carols

The composer's setting beautifully captures the deep emotions of the tragic song

followed by a series of variations that successively gain intensity

Getting the feel of playing in these unusual meters is much easier for students than one might think

Aubrey Sacco

A lemon twist is used in beverages to add zest or is sometimes just for decoration

a minor mode

feel and play deeply

Images of gypsies in celebratory dance around a campfire are easily conjured up when listening to this delightful work that hearkens to eastern Europe
