I was searching for an intermediate arrangement of this melody, and was so pleased when I saw it here at ComposeCreate. My student is really enjoying it and I look forward to this being a staple for my students at this level.

I bought this for a student who loves this song. When I played it for her, she was thrilled and excited. We spent her entire lesson working on the first page and looking over the rest. She is hoping to learn it by our December 8 recital. The chords are so beautiful. Wonderful rendition of an old favorite!

I really enjoy how the music builds to a big sound using the full range of the piano. It’s a great piece for illustrating how a story can be told, even without lyrics!
