AMERICANA MUSIC
Patriotic numbers, spirituals, jazz, and
folk songs all make up a very unique
type of music that is uniquely American.
Lt All the Pretty Little Horses (from "Four
e American Folk Songs")—arr. Frank Ferko.
Commissioned by the Choir of Trinity College
(Melbourne) for their U.S. concert tour in 2020.
This minor-mode lullaby is set in close harmonies
which amplify its dual nature: sometimes soothing,
sometimes a bit ominous.
11316633 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35
Le America the Beautiful—Samuel A. Ward/arr.
Richard A. Nichols. This setting of one of our
most beloved patriotic hymns emits true sincerity
and passion. The accompaniment is compelling
and the harmonic surprises are deeply satisfying.
Instead of offering us just another arrangement to
sing at patriotic events, this rendition sets itself a
part from the rest. Powerful and inspiring!

written part. Optional drum, guitar, and bass parts
add to the fun.

work an authentic American homespun quality.

DtCeltic Dance—Kirby Shaw. A cappella vocal jazz
e meets traditional Irish dance music in this

toes tapping!

setting for SATB voices and piano of KUM BA
YAH is so thoughtfully different from any other
arrangement that it is not to be missed! Musically
sound and creative, with occasional guided piano

te Down in a Coalmine (from "Appalachian
Stories")—arr. David Chase. This is the third
song in a four-song set titled Appalachian Stories.
After opening with a fiddle solo, the choral writing
is reminiscent of a hymn at first, then segues into
a dance-like feel as the singers tell the story of
the workers who travel "deep into the coal, deep
underneath the ground."

texture. A fresh arrangement of a choral classic!

piece and terrific instrumental combo parts add to
the authenticity.

combined with the other parts.

L Music in the Air—arr. Ryan Murphy. "Over my
head I hear music in the air, there must be a God
somewhere." The traditional spiritual is a mix of
hopeful lyrics about the future, despite our current
afflictions. This setting brings an exciting new life
to the traditional melody with an active piano part
that moves the piece from lyrical to a syncopated
gospel feel without breaking tempo or style. The
choral parts employ traditional harmonies and
some divisi in the final section to create a full-
throated celebration of life.
