- (Posted 2017-02-03) CPDL #42943:
- Editor: Barry Johnston (submitted 2017-02-03). Score information: Letter, 1 page, 61 kB Copyright: Public Domain
- Edition notes: Note heads converted to ovals. Whole piece moved down from E major to D major, to avoid high notes in Bass and Treble. Perhaps this was only arranged by Carrell; it has a folk-song sound to me.
