ALL THE PRETTY LITTLE HORSES

by

Donald E. Olah

 

This piece is based on a traditional Appalachian Lullaby with the following lyrics:

 

Hush-you-bye don't you cry,

Go to sleepy, little baby.

In your dreams you shall ride

All the pretty little horsies.

Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,

Coach and six a-little horsies.

 

Hush-a-bye don’t you cry,

Lay your head upon the clover.

When you wake you shall ride,

Whilst your mother watches over.

 

 

Composer  Donald E. Olah grew up in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, attended West Virginia Wesleyan College and Virginia Commonwealth University, and is

presently a middle school orchestra director and string teacher in the Spotsylvania County,VA Public Schools.
