What Child Is This

$4.50

A violin solo with piano accompaniment. The pieces starts out with piano only and allows the entrance of the solo violin and a rather straight forward rendition of this beloved song. After a brief transition the solo is modified with a constant modified and moving line while being supported by a single voice counterpoint in the left hand of the piano. The chorus is then a bit more staid and the accompaniment more chordal. Another brief piano interlude is stated with melodic material and the piece becomes more fragmented and motivic with a gentle settling to the end.
