Program Notes

Four Appalachian folk songs make up this piece: The Tree in the Wood, Soldier, Won’t You Marry Me?, Shooting of His Dear, and The Drummer and His Wife. These folk songs were often used to tell stories and were passed along from generation to generation. They allow the singer/storyteller to express great emotions in a simple form which can then be shared with others. The folk songs here are used as a basis for a lyrical composition and allow the listener to share in their simple beauty and spirit.
