A fun piece for classroom, concert and festival, “Who Wants Cake?” celebrates two folk tunes that refer to cake while exploring introductory Level 2 skills and techniques. “Old Aunt Kate” (American traditional) and “Fais do do” (French folk tune) are richly scored with full chords, very easy 8th notes, and 4/4 and 3/4 meters; frosted with one easy key change (keys of C and F) and a few well-placed accidentals; and lightly sprinkled with percussive techniques (martellato, thumb damp, mallet, echo, mart lift, ring touch and vibrato).
