Goodnight Moon arranged for Grade 3-4 Concert Band 室内管乐团

"在过去的几年里，我一定给我的儿子读过上千遍《晚安月亮》，也许更多。大约读到第 500 遍的时候，我开始听到一些音乐片段，随着时间的推移，这些片段开始变成一首简单、甜美的摇篮曲。我知道这是个漫长的过程，但我还是让我的经理克莱尔-朗（Claire Long）联系哈珀柯林斯出版社，看看他们是否允许将文本配上音乐。令我惊讶和高兴的是，他们同意了--这是他们第一次允许以这种方式使用《晚安月亮》。我相对较快地创作了这首曲子，最初是为竖琴、弦乐队和我儿子的母亲、女高音希拉-普利特曼（Hila Plitmann）谱写的

原文简介:
“Over the past few years I must have read Goodnight Moon to my son a thousand times - maybe more. Somewhere around reading number 500, I began hearing little musical fragments as I read, and over time those fragments began to blossom into a simple, sweet lullaby. I knew it was a long shot, but I asked my manager, Claire Long, to contact HarperCollins and see if they would allow the text to be set to music. To my surprise and delight they agreed - the first time they had ever allowed Goodnight Moon to be used in such a way. I composed the piece relatively quickly, originally setting the text for harp, string orchestra, and my son's mother, soprano Hila Plitmann.

I later arranged Goodnight Moon for SATB choir and piano. More recently, my dear friend Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant arranged the piece for wind ensemble and soloist. The melody of Goodnight Moon will forever make me think of those quiet nights, reading my son to sleep.” –Eric Whitacre
