Harburg/arr. Phillips & Beck. Have your students
hold their violins and violas like ukuleles and

n Scarborough Fair���arr. Brian Balmages.
The aching emotion in this interpretation of
Scarborough Fair is a genuine treat for young
string groups. The lyrics of the 16th century
(possibly older) ballad relates a heartsick couple
proposing impossible tasks to prove unending
love to one another. Embodied with simple
counter lines, harmonies, and dynamic range,
Brian Balmages paints an image of youthful love
and its inherent theatrics. Excellent!���

Himalayas, Tibet is the highest region on

meters. This lesser known Tibetan folk song

mountains to provide the people with pure
water. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution
in the 1960-70s, lyrics portraying leader Mao
Zedong as a sun were added to it.���
