Morning Has Broken
- opens a pop-up window. Then, click twice on the play button.
Everyone's favourite!

This score represents just one way of performing the piece, which is suitable for a 'mix'n'match' treatment. It works well as a duet between parts M1 & M2; M1 and M3; M1 and the descant; M1 and A1, as well as in various trio combinations.

 Sound 123 (124) on a General Midi keyboard is 'Bird'. On a good instrument, this sound can be triggered freely, allowing a young or disabled child to make an effective contribution to the performance. (Although, in this way, almost anyone can produce pleasing sounds, there is scope for the more sympathetic musician to shape this contribution, enhancing its effect.) 

 

Morning Has Broken / Descant
Morning Has Broken / Part M1 (Melody)
Morning Has Broken / Part M2
Morning Has Broken / Part M3 (Bass Clef)
Morning Has Broken / Part M3 (Treble Clef)
Morning Has Broken / Part A1
