Choral Choir (SA) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.941563 Composed by Folk Song. Arranged by Andrea Gaudette. Children,Folk,Holiday. Octavo. 11 pages. Andrea Gaudette #4303579. Published by Andrea Gaudette (A0.941563). This playful 2-part arrangement intertwines two pentatonic partner songs. The lullaby Bye-lo, Baby-o functions as a sol-mi-la ostinato alongside the humorous Appalachian folk song, What’ll I Do with the Baby-o. Gaudette’s adapted lyrics offer ways to soothe a baby who won’t go to sleep:  Wrap him up in calico, send him to his mammy-o.  Tickle his chin, wiggle his toes, blow on his belly and touch his nose.  Dance him north, dance him south, put a little binky in his mouth. The energetic music offers 2nd-3rd grade students an experience of 16th-note patterns while remaining in a middle- to high-D octave range. This is an upbeat piece suitable for any concert occasion. It is especially appropriate for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day celebrations.
