Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1275410 Composed by Karen K Almquist. Children,Folk,Instructional,Latin,Multicultural,World. Score. 4 pages. Karen K. Almquist #867331. Published by Karen K. Almquist (A0.1275410). This sweet lullaby in ABA form is written in G major. It modulates to E minor in the B section. It features parallel thirds in the right hand with three note rolled chords at the ends of phrases. The meter is in common time. The right hand melodic rhythm imitates the sound of maracas. It is sometimes varied by the use of triplets or ritenuto. The left hand plays a typical Spanish sounding ostinato bass pattern.  The melody is singable and the flow of the rhythm feels like swaying or rocking.  The four page piece can be played as a piano or harp solo. Latin American instruments such as claves, maracas and guiro could be added as a program piece.  It is an early intermediate level.
