Whimsical and light, C.E. Walz pairs the playful melody of Albert Ellmenreich's "Spinning Song" with original lyrics. The piece paints a lively picture of a flock of sheep engaged in hijinks—chasing, running about, and exhausting the author before drifting into slumber. This charming, original work's swirling tune infuses the music with a touch of joy and imagination.
