I have put in slurs, indicating where to breath (very quickly), but you may find that you can either play longer without a fresh breath, or require shorter phrases to keep from passing out. I have swapped the melody back and forth between the soprano and alto a couple of times, to give the alto a little more to do. Also, I have posted this piece with a time signature of 9/8. The free score that I downloaded as a starting point showed both 3/4 and 9/8 in the time signature. To my mind the 9/8 is a lot cleaner and easier to read, as the 3/4 version uses eighth-note triplets, and therefore has a lot more black ink on the page. Cynthia and I keep this piece in our Christmas/Holiday section, as it seems fitting to us. We are having a lot of fun with this piece -- we hope you do also.

Too late perhaps for anyone who has downloaded it already, but good for future visitors. RRR |

Hi Ralph,
Listening to this as I type using GPO flutes - beautiful! Thanks for sharing, and I'll have to break out a whistle and play along. Wish you and Cynthia could be here today for our Christmas Open House to play it for us in person :) I'll be printing this one off to have handy for any fellow wind players who might happen along today. ttfn, Sherry |

Hi Ralph,
Just thought I should let you know that I borrowed your score and altered it for whistle to play as a solo for the offertory at church yesterday. Thanks :) Sherry |
