ptabThe Handing DownEdward Gerhard Night BirdsÃEdward GerhardEdward GerhardCraig Rogers {Tellurian}craigrogers706@hotmail.comÿÈ "The Handing Down" is the extended third movement of a composition called "Suite", which appeared on my 1987 recording "Night Birds". Try to play this piece slowly holding on to the melody as long as possible. Be sure to give each note it's full value. Feel free to experiment with dynamics, as I often do when playing this one in concert. On the recording all strings are tuned down a half-step D#G#C#D#G#D#.
