Assemble the camels for this original "caravan to Bethlehem" composition. A flourish introduces the piece before settling into a rhythmic gait suggestive of plodding over desert sands. The energetic melody weaves around like a snake charmer's tune in the upper registers. Techniques are sprinkled throughout. You will arrive at Bethlehem in measure 80! This piece is written in the keys of a minor and e minor.
