Traditional Folk Songs

Poor Wayfarin' Stranger
Arr. David Eddleman

Veteran and best selling arranger/writer David Eddleman redefines the beauty of this Appalachian folk song with the novel, vocal jazz style of today. Absolutely a "must do" for all performance choirs, this beautifully crafted piece is supported by a piano accompaniment that allows for sections of a cappella singing. Highlighting the men's voices and a soulful Alto solo, every aspect of this choral is unique and memorable.

Danny Boy
Arr. Darmon Meader

Darmon Meader has established himself as a giant in choral a cappella arrangements. The Irish folk melody, "Londonderry Air" with text by Fred Weatherly is masterfully arranged by Darmon, for SATB a cappella voices. Beautiful, independent voices move in fluid lines, creating lush, vocal harmonies that evoke images of Irish pasture land and vivid descriptions of love lost and mourned. This could be the new definitive edition of the most popular Irish song of all time. Simply stunning!

Lonesome Dove
Arr. David Eddleman

Once again, David Eddleman has created a simple to sing, yet elegant arrangement. This Appalachian folk song is lyrical and haunting in both melody and text and the musical elements of line, phrase and form are essential to the effective performance of the piece. With piano accompaniment that imitates the very sound of the dove, the part becomes just another voice in the choral, creating a gorgeous effect for this classic song.

The Silver Swan
Orlando Gibbons/Arr. Russell Robinson

With thought-provoking text and imagery, Renaissance writer Orlando Gibbons pens, "More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise, "bringing both singers and audience to a stark realization of life. Russell Robinson arranges this a cappella piece for three-part mixed voices, in a lower key than the original setting, to provide young singers a more comfortable vocal range. Easily sung with opportunities for Renaissance stylistic study and performance, this is what we have come to recognize as Russ' expertise and he delivers on this one!

Completed with the piano providing the rolling motion of the sea, this is a "must do!"

Ah Robyn!
William Cornysh/Arr. Patrick M. Liebergen

"Ah!," is certainly the way to describe this enchanting piece. In both the musical arrangement and the editorial, educational notes provided, Pat is at his best in this wonderful selection. English madrigal writer, William Cornysh provides the original work for this stylistic piece while the addition of the flute and hand drum, by the arranger completes this lively chorus. If performed with energy and rhythmic articulation, the natural inflections of the English text will sing themselves! Parts are provided for both flute and hand drum in the printed choral.

Go Tell Aunt Rhody
Arr. Dean Rishel

This is not "your parent's rendition" of a childhood classic! Dean Rishel brings his signature talent to this little piece, turning the "ordinary" into the "extraordinary!" Your choir will thrill to the drama of the goose as it dies slowly, thoughout the piece, with the final, sad tones "the old gray goose is...dead," echoing through the hall. Somewhat fugal in nature and structure, with canonic passages, this arrangement is challenging and beautiful. A wonderful novelty piece for concert, festival or contest!
