This folk song tells the true story of a man who disappeared in quicksand in his horse-drawn cart. Hopefully it won't give you a sinking feeling!

Today’s piece was kindly sponsored by my godmother, Brenda Inglis, for her granddaughter Lilly. Happy birthday for today, Lilly! She is learning the piano, and may not be quite ready to master the piece this Christmas, but I’m sure she’ll be able to tackle it next year if she keeps up the practice! 😉
Like all the Advent Calendar pieces, you can hear a studio-quality mp3 recording below, and/or watch the video, and download the sheet music as a pdf. Enjoy!

This is a popular Latvian lullaby. A mother and father gather forest fruits and honey for their baby, or 'bear cub'. The left hand is simple in sound but takes some practice technically.

I'm desperate to get out in the garden and get planting a new area. But there's still frost in the forecast, so I have to be patient, and make up little tunes about it instead!

How lovely for Lilly to have her own special tune for her birthday! Now that’s what I call a present! xx
