This fun-loving song is high on the list of teacher favorites. Ideal for sharing with your classroom cohorts, this cross-curricular gem has fun speculating about whether our founding father really did cut down that cherry tree.
The orchestration for this jaunty march is right on the money, alternating a sparse "fife and drum" texture on the verses to a full-blown "Sousa on Broadway" background for the chorus. (from Music K-8, Vol. 15, No. 3)
