Through Moanin' Pines [HL:768715]

Dion Morales arranged “Through Moanin' Pines” by Harry T. Burleigh allowing younger musicians to celebrate and perform music by a composer of color. A masterful edition of this spiritual, soulful tune provides opportunities for expression, discussion of the heritage of the music and its composer, and a musical experience not only described by the music, but also inspired by the text above. Through 3-part writing, legato bowing, pizzicato, and a broad palette of dynamics, your students will enjoy performing this beautiful Level 2 song and hearing the “text” through the vibration of their strings.
