This peaceful lovely song is a setting of Katharine Tynan's poem, "Sheep And Lambs." I discovered Katharine Tynan's poetry quite by accident....once again, a real perk of the trade...I buy and sell antique and collectible items, and always seem to find something to inspire my next composition in a boxlot from an auction. I discovered Katharine Tynan's poems when I browsed through an old school reading book and read "My Little Farm", a truncated version of "When A Little Farm I Keep". I researched Katharine Tynan and her work, and I have decided to set more of her poetry to song, so that audiences can enjoy her work. "Sheep And Lambs" is the second of the Tynan poems I have set to music. The theme intertwines the idea of the sheep and their little lambs with the Lamb Of God. The little lambs were tired, and the Lamb of God suffered. Both found rest on a cool green hill. This is a great little pensive piece to use in church for the Easter season. The work will come to you as a score in a hard stock cover (and of course, I will sign it!) for the soprano to use, and separate parts for the harp and the violin. The violin part can be played on flute as well (up an octave). The piece is in C Major and the range of the voice goes from middle C to third space C, just one octave - a very comfortable range for an amateur singer with a pretty voice. The folk harp part is super simple, and can be played on a 22 string harp - I wrote it with the amateur harpist in mind. The chordal structure is so easy that it can be adapted to simple chord strumming on guitar. Simplistic music can be so peaceful sounding, and this piece certainly is just that. Shipping is $3.50 in the U.S., or $7.00 overseas. See my other listed compositions. You might want to try several, and if so, let me know and I will adjust shipping according to weight. Thanks for looking at my music and my store. Keep practicing. It is fun to play new music, and I do love to write it!
