Story:
"While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks" (Fall 2008)
Amber is always pushing me to write more Chrismas music, and this year she started pushing in July! So in October I finally got in the festive mood and got ideas for the "Joy to the World" piano solo and this advanced violin (fiddle, actually) solo. I say advanced because I think only a really good violinist could handle what I throw out in this number! Lots and lots of fast notes make this one I'm sure hard to play, someone please let me know how it goes! Also, this might work for sacrament meeting, but probably better for ward parties, etc. Make sure you run it by leadership first, I don't want to get anyone in trouble!
