So many performance options and combinations! Equally suited as an opener or closer, this Baroque-meets-contemporary festival-style work has exceptional performance flexibility as a multi-level OR single-level work! Play it entirely as a grade 2 or play it as a grade 1. Additionally, both may be combined, and directors can add the grade ½ parts, which are based on open strings and limited first finger. Innovative and exciting!

The doleful yet dance-like theme which opens this work captures a duality which pervades the work. The second movement's motoric imitation is broken only momentarily by a poignant pastorale which hints at the piety of the Adagio religioso to follow. A vivacious Allegro, full of syncopation-play and rhythmic puns, tips the scales of the work towards illumination and optimism.

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.
