Giddy-up little donkey! Hurry, because we're late getting to Bethlehem! The image of the traveler is vividly portrayed in this Spanish children's carol, arranged to depict the clip-clop of the donkey with pizzicato eighth notes and an optional wood block. Students will focus on articulations, dynamics, and the inherent modulations between the verse and the chorus.

Lower strings be sure to maintain a steady pulse and dont rush the walking figure at the opening. When the melody is transferred to the lower strings (pick-up to m. 10 and m. 13), play with a full sound. Be careful of the balance and allow the soloist to dominate in mm. 121. If the soloist is comfortable using third position, play mm. 119 and the first half of m. 20 one octave higher. All parts should be in a solid marcato style in the fast section (m. 22 to the end). In m.50, Violin I should bring out the Hava Nagila quote equal to the volume of the rest of the orchestra. Be sure to observe all the soft dynamics to add interest to the performance.

Song of Sedona is a composed piece in the style of mariachi, but does not follow the exact mariachi format. It's written for string orchestra with additional parts for armonia, guitarron, and trumpets. Performance can take place with string orchestra alone, with the addition of the other instruments, or with a traditional mariachi group. A vocal line (in English and Spanish) is also included.
