Stone Creek
Arranged by composer Ed Huckeby, "Stone Creek" is a very difficult piece that vividly depicts children playing happily by the stream. In summer, the stones by the stream are covered with moss, and it is easy to slip when stepping on them, and the small fish and shrimp hide by the water and grass of the stream, as if they also feel the happiness of the children and swim happily. The tired friends sat in the shade of the trees by the creek to enjoy the shade, feeling the comfort and happiness of the breeze.
