This beginner level arrangement is available from PlentyMusic as a free sheet music score. It is intended to be used in group music teaching contexts. The beginner arrangement has the melody played by the right hand accompanied by chords intended to be played by the left hand. There are graphics indicating the notes to be played in the chords and the melody notes have the letter names in the notehead. The realisation plays back at 84 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. Play-a-long accompaniments to encourage ensemble and solo playing are available emphasising either the melody or the chords. They are recorded at tempos of 84, 88 and 92 beats per minute and each is introduced with a click beat. If additional accompaniments are required please advise the PlentyMusic office. The sheet music download has suggested fingering and dynamics in place although the latter may only be relevant on touch sensitive instruments. Keyboard players should be aiming for a legato touch in their playing. In this beginner version ornamentation has been omitted but they are in place in the improver level sheet music score. One of the most famous and loved melodies of what is often described as the classical music repertoire although Brahms should more accurately identified as a romantic composer. The Cradle Song or Lullaby was composed by J. Brahms as the song “Weigenlied” and published in 1868. There are many beginner level piano & keyboard pieces available as free sheet pdf downloads from the PlentyMusic website
