Hushabye Mountain

Hushabye Mountain is a haunting lullaby from the 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In this adaptation for percussion ensemble, Stephen Primatic emulates the cadence of a music box, mostly through mallet instruments, with added color from controlled use of triangle, finger cymbals, and wind chimes. Relatively sparse in technical challenges, the piece is attainable for less experienced ensembles aiming to showcase lyricism from the percussion ensemble.
