Lullaby to the Moon for String Orchestra Level 2
Many fictional works portray the moon as a living being, alone in space looking at the Earth. This lullaby honors this living moon, portraying various emotions including the loneliness of seeing us from space. It also includes moments of comfort as the moon proudly watches over us, much as a parent watches over a child. Simply stunning, whether you have a grade 2 or a grade 6 ensemble.
This expressive work aims to encapsulate the essence of serenity through its calm, moderate tempo and simple rhythms. A beautiful interplay between sweeping melodic lines and a gorgeous harmonic language provides unlimited potential for phrasing and music-making. (2:20)
This arrangement embodies the full sound and spirit of the original overture, yet is orchestrated in a way that takes full advantage of the string orchestra sonic palette. A fabulous choice as an opener, closer, or celebratory work for any special occasion! (4:00)

The vivid imagery of "little critters" scurrying about at night inspires the melodic lines and creative harmonies used throughout this programmatic work. Beginning soft and mischievous, the music builds as new critters join the fun in a playful dialogue. The harmonic language moves between moments of pleasant consonance and slight dissonance (because as we all know, some people love little critters and some people are terrified of them!). A highly imaginative, playable work! (Grade 1, Dur 2:15)
