Dreidel Song, The (viola duo)

Title: The Dreidel Song

Composer: traditional Hanukkah song, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Two Violas

Printout: 2 pages

Note: This popular Hanukkah song has been given a unique treatment in this duo viola setting. In the first section, the second viola plays the melody while accompanied by whirling sixteenth notes imitative of a spinning dreidel. In the second section the melody moves to viola 1, and viola 2 provides a jaunty, rhythmic underpinning.
