Ideal solos for providing an interlude between sung carols for any occasion, as well as for setting the scene or for accompanying some action or procession in school Nativity plays and other such events.
The pastorale is particularly effective in creating the right atmosphere on such occasions, because inherent in the pastorale genre is the evocation of that idyllic world of shepherds lazing around in the shade of trees, playing their pipes across rolling valleys. This is why they are always in a rather lazy 6/8 time, similar to a siciliana in rhythm, and typically with a drone bass and a melody exclusively in 3rds and 6ths.
