Review:
This fun suite includes the tunes "Hush, Little Baby", Shenandoah", "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair", and "Turkey in the Straw". All the pieces are short; the last ("Turkey in the Straw") is written on three staves and includes handclaps. Tempos differ greatly, from "slowly" to "lively". Minimal techniques are required. This secular suite would suit a summer or school performance.
