Il était une bergère

The Comptine collection is made up of transcriptions of children's and traditional songs.
Each title includes a piano arrangement graded by difficulty level (from 1 to 9) to suit both beginner and experienced musicians.

The difficulty of this piano arrangement is ③, corresponding to an easy piece with simple melody and bass, including a few position changes on the keyboard and more frequent thumb passages.

“Il était une bergère” is a traditional French ditty full of humour and lightness, telling the misadventure of a shepherdess and her cat. Its lively, catchy melody is perfect for working on lightness of playing and rhythmic precision for beginner/intermediate pianists.

The sheet, including the piano arrangement, the lyrics and a vocal score with chords and guitar tablature, is printed on natural white Rives 180 g/m² paper and presented in a transparent plastic sleeve.

The downloadable version (PDF) includes the MP3.
