Teacher Notes

Orra Bhonna Bhonnagan
The countermelody part for this has sections where chords of three notes are shown. Teachers should use their discretion here; if the part is being played on tuned percussion then pupils should be encouraged to play two of the notes in the chord (with two beaters); if playing a melody instrument which can only play one note at once, then the upper or lower notes should be played (or all three if there are enough pupils able to share this part); upper strings playing this part might double stop two notes from these chords.
