Program Notes
Alaudidae are a family of ground-dwelling songbirds. Most larks including meadowlarks and skylarks fall into this category.
This short piece for grade 3 performers was composed for the twins of a childhood friend. Light and lyrical, the piece is designed to be performed with some freedom of expression.
