An easy, casual piece in D with soprano melody mostly in the lower part of the range. If you prefer to play it on an Alto reading up the octave, you will need to drop the first half of the Coda down- an easy solution but at the expense of the composer’s intended high statement of the melody. Inner voices get in on some of the action along the way, and the lilting bass line is fun to sink into and lose yourself. Occasional surprise dissonances recall the imagery of birds in the tall grass. This is a perfect piece for a fun afternoon playing music with friends.
