Sur Le Pont D'Avignon

This is a traditional French song about dancing on the bridge in Avignon. The bridge spanned the river Rhône for hundreds of years until its collapse in 1669. It is a very lively piece with lots of attack in the melody.

Selected from Grade by Grade - Piano Grade 1. The Grade By Grade series draws on the rich and varied Boosey & Hawkes catalogue of classical, contemporary and educational repertoire, highlighting composers including Serge Prokofieff, Dmitri Shostakovich, Karl Jenkins, Carol Barratt and Christopher Norton, alongside arrangements of traditional music from around the world by Peter Wastall, Vera Gray and others. Carefully selected by Iain Farrington, this practical anthology provides the complete repertoire resource for the aspiring Grade 1 pianist.
