Songs of Mexico

Three beautiful tunes in an easy medley! This collection is a set of three traditional Mexican folk songs arranged for beginning string orchestra. The entire piece can be played on the D and A strings for violins, violas, and cellos, while basses play on the D and G strings. A la Rorro Niño ("To the Darling Child") is an infant slumber song. Un Elefante Se Balanceaba ("One Elephant Balances") is about an elephant balancing on a spider web with more elephants joining as the song progresses; for example, the second verse would be two elephants, the third verse would be three elephants, and so on. Luz de la Mañana ("Morning Light") is a children's song about morning. Correlates to Sound Innovations, Book 1, Level 4. (2:05)
