This arrangement was designed for young musicians in the comfortable key of Concert F. It’s perfect for younger players with simple rhythms & limited requirement of rudiments. The piano part supports the melody but rarely doubles it. The solo part is easy to read yet still sounds totally professional and reflects a traditional vocal performance that’s perfect for any occasion. Check out Mr. Holmes’ YouTube performance for more details!
