Review:
This lilting melody is a song about the Puerto Rican coqui, a tiny tree frog with a high-pitched voice that 'sings' from dusk till dawn. The music is accented with shakes, thumb damps, and martellatos. The arranger uses the full 3-octave range to create an appealing arrangement of the traditional melody. Set at a fast-paced quarter = 138 tempo, this C Major work is 51 measures with repeats.
NEW for 2023: a 5 octave version compatible with the original 3 octave version for massed ringing events.
