Wayfaring Stranger—arr. Brian Tate.
Supported by a wandering motive in the
piano accompaniment, the beloved 19th-
century American folk melody is presented
first in unison and then in full four-part
harmony. Counterlines and echoing
motives give every voice an interesting part
to sing. It's an inspiring selection for either
concerts or services.

The Wayfaring Stranger—arr. Paul
Smith. From the VOCES8 Foundation
Choral Series, this is an approachable
and affecting arrangement of the well-
known folk song. Optional soloists and
slow-moving accompanying parts create
a haunting, eerie yet beautiful effect. The
parts are not difficult but require care in
balance and tuning to draw out the most
from the piece.

The Wellerman—arr. Jacob Narverud. This
19th-century folk song from New Zealand

Wild Mountain Thyme—arr. Benjamin
David Knoedler. Displaying a contemporary
Scottish flair on a traditional tune, this
setting is unexpectedly buoyant and joyful.
The slight melodic and rhythmic variations
bring a lilting and skipping feel that is nicely
contrasted with some softer and more lush
sections. The piano accompaniment brings
a dancing quality that supports the vocal
lines well.

Wild Mountain Thyme—arr. Jacob
Narverud. "And we'll all go together ... to
pluck wild mountain thyme, all around
the bloomin' heather..." The gently lilting
strains of this traditional Scottish ballad are

choral harmonies and well-placed unison
lines are carried along by the supportive
piano accompaniment.

Wild Mountain Thyme—arr. Mike Wilson.
Expertly arranged for younger choirs, this
Scottish folk song features a penny whistle
and fiddle in the laid-back bluegrass-style
accompaniment track (sold separately).
While the two-part harmonies are lovely, it
works just as well sung in unison.
