Alan Bullard's Not Too Fast Not Too Slow for CBar and Piano. This original composition combines several traditional proverbs (Good things come to those who wait What goes up... Where there's a will...) a quirky melody a laid-back swing feel a whispering section and an immediate melodic 'hook'. Sufficient unison writing supports effective learning for this age group and challenging duplet rhythms are made accessible within helpful longer phrases. The music is well-suited to the text and displays Bullard's accessible but highly accomplished compositional technique.
