The well known traditional Welsh lullaby (Suo Gan) features in Steven Spielberg's epic 1987 movie Empire Of The Sun. This arrangement for string orchestra allows the tune to appear in all parts, with the exception of the bass. The cello has an attractive counter-melody at m43 after the key change, and an interesting feature of this arrangement is the independence of all the parts, especially the double bass part in relation to the cello. Because each section of the orchestra has a musically interesting part, string players will enjoy performing this arrangement.
