10098 Still, Still, Still

Traditional Austrian

arranged for ten-piece brass

by Roger Harvey

Price: £20.00

Difficulty: Medium

Programme note:
Still, Still, Still uses an Austrian lullaby which first appeared in a folksong collection in Salzburg in 1865. The words, from the 20th Century and attributed to Georg Götsch tell simply of Mary rocking the baby Jesus to sleep.

Performance note:
The accompaniment should be gently phrased but with a slight articulation to give a little definition to the arpeggio figures. The melody in verse 1 should be expressive but simply played.
In verse 2, retain the very gentle, subtle dynamics.

The ritenuto before D should create a very relaxed cadence, placing moving notes very carefully and without haste.
