This Piece Would Program Well With: Christmas Lullaby arr. Mac Huff available from JWPepper and MusicNotes
Did your girls learn your holiday repertoire faster than you expected? Looking for one more piece? This beautiful SSA lullaby will do the trick. Dennis uses her skill as an author to create a wonderful original text. Her employment of several different meters can be the focus of several informative theory lessons.
Composers should take note of how Dianna Robin Dennis uses many of the sources available to our profession to create and promote her music. In particular having Matthew Curtis of Choral Tracks LLC produce a choral recording, public domain photos on the digital cover of her music, using JWPepper for promotion and making music available through e-print show her skills in the modern marketing world.
Child of Mine is available from JWPepper http://www.jwpepper.com/Child-of-Mine/10452201.item#.UxVTovYmBcw
