Program Notes

Written in the tradition of Appalachian folk music, the simplicity of the scoring and flexibility of instrumentation makes this an ideal choice for young ensembles. The delightful melody is passed around from section to section creating melodic interest for the players and your audience. The optional lyrics that are included allow the addition of a soloist or small choral ensemble to enhance the overall effect of this charming setting.
