This beloved, popular song by BRENDAN GRAHAM and ROLF LOVLAND is arranged as an instrumental trio (for two C-instruments with piano accompaniment). The beautiful, lyrical style of this instrumental piece creates a peaceful, endearing atmosphere.

Though notated with FLUTE on part 1 and VIOLIN on part 2, the ranges are also accessible for other combinations of C instruments (2 violins, 2 flutes, etc.). Ranges for each instrument are as follows: FLUTE (Part 1) ~ G4 to B5; VIOLIN (Part 2) ~ E4 to E5. For violin players, all notes on both parts are playable in the first position making this piece an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players.

Both the FLUTE and VIOLIN get to lead with the melody at times making it enjoyable and equally challenging for both players while adding variety for the listeners. For the first verse, the two parts alternate playing the melody as a solo followed by playing as a duet for the chorus. For the second verse, the FLUTE and VIOLIN play as a duet, alternating between melody and harmony. The audio sample begins in measure 14, at the beginning of the first chorus where both instruments are playing.

The purchase price includes these printing options:
1. a grand staff (5 pages) with all parts on each page
2. separate scores for the FLUTE and VIOLIN (2 pages each) and PIANO (3 pages)
3. a combined FLUTE and VIOLIN score (3 pages)
