Help needed please

I am doing music for my Junior Cert and I'm playing Bella's Lullaby by Carter Burwell as one of my piano pieces (2 flute, 2 piano). I can play it but I was just wondering if anyone can give me tips on playing it like how to convey the emotion and make it as smooth as possible. Should I use the pedal or not? I'm not really sure but I want it to be really good.
The piano I'll be playing on is older, any tips for that? I'm not sure if I'll be able to practice on it as I'm doing music outside of school.

Thanks for any help

PS, any ideas for another piece I could play? Thanks

I don't know the answer to this but check out http://www.pianoworld.com/forum/ This is a great forum for piano and you'll probably get a reply pretty quick

As for another piece i'd try Erik Satie, gnossienne 3 maybe. He started "minimalist" piano back at the end of the 19th century that Bella's Lullaby sort of comes from(only heard the piano version mind)
