About Mary Had a Little Lamb (CDE)#
Mary Had a Little Lamb holds a small place in the history of recorded sound. When Thomas Edison tested his new phonograph in 1877, the lines he spoke into it were the opening of this very rhyme, which makes it one of the first things ever captured on a recording. The lyric itself comes from a poem written decades before that and has stayed a schoolroom fixture ever since.
This version is pitched lower than the ABG arrangement, using C, D and E at the bottom of the six-hole ocarina. Those three neighboring notes make it a good place to practice clean, quiet playing in the low register.
