Song/Youth Band. Composed by Henk van Lijnschooten. The Best Original Compositions for Concert Band/Fantasy Suites. Molenaar Original Compositions. Score only. Published by Molenaar Edition (ML.021311070-S).

This composition is based on the very popular French folksong "Au Clair de la Lune mon ami Pierrot" which used to be part of every family's homely song repertoire in France and even abroad. Henk van Lijnschooten wrote seven nice four-part variations, initially intended for youth band. The work, composed in 1973, was commissioned by SOMNO, the then Dutch Confederation of wind band associations. Ever since, it has been performed with great success all over the world.
