PRS010/ Birds of Bethlehem/ Voice, Bird
calls & Piano
Words & Music by Audrey Podmore
This little piece is an ideal opportunity to give less
coordinated youngsters a simple, but effective, instrumental
solo. It requires an assortment of bird calls, pan-pipes and
warblers. These can be found in most music shops and are a useful
addition to the music cupboard, for special effects. Of course,
more able children can improvise solos on flutes, clarinets, etc.
Warblers should play in the piano's decorated bars, while the
voice is silent. Cuckoos and drier sounds, like the Quail, can be
played quite effectively during sung sections. Preferably, there
should be a conductor, in addition to the accompanist.

Song of the Highland Shepherd
| Lyrics
A song inspired by walks in the Scottish Highlands. It reflects
on the pl ight of those who were affected by 'The
Clearances' and wonders at the Christ-Child's
identification with poor and weak.
