Description
Little Bo Peep for flute, clarinet and piano
Setting of the English nursery rhyme Little Bo Peep using the traditional melody merged with the melody that I composed specially for the "Wildlife in the Nursery" CD.
(http://www.cdbaby.com/singinganimals )
The sound sample a preview using electronic instruments.
The pdf file contains all parts (flute, clarinet and piano) plus the score and also a version of the score with reduced sized lines for flute and clarinet, which the pianist may like to use.
There is also a version for flute voice and piano available on this site, which includes the words by Walter Crane and others
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone, And they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.


Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left their tails behind them.

It happened one day, as Bo-peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by,
There she espied their tails side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.

She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
To tack each again to its lambkin.
