O Desayo [Alf:00-23359S]

Catchy rhythms and a memorable melody are joyfully and playfully presented in this traditional children's greeting song from Angola. Set in the key of G, O Desayo requires minimal shifting for violin 1, cello and bass while violin 2 and viola remain in first-position throughout. Study points of this arrangement include syncopation and contrasting textures; a few accidentals add harmonic interest.
