Just a short setting of an American folk tune. Most know it as "Takin' home a baby Bumble Bee". I tried to emulate Percy Grainger's style. I was thinking about maybe arraigning it for clarinet or sax choir.



I'm not sure what a "setting" is. Is it an arrangement or a lead sheet or something?

As an arrangement of a tune for solo piano, it was texturally uncreative; it's just chords and melody throughout. You also didn't do much to the theme.

At the fifth bar of the third line, you have two wide chords in the left hand that most pianists will have to roll. In the last bar of the first line of the last page, there is a triplet in the left hand that is very hard to play unless you can span an octave with your fifth and second fingers. Maybe you have large hands.
