ballad from Cork, on the southwest coast of the

powerful concert piece for men's voices.

of the desert at night while the scent of roses

arrangement, complemented by a fluid, but not
difficult, piano accompaniment. Translation and
pronunciation guide included. A strong choice for
multicultural programs!

4t Gentle AnnieStephen Foster/arr. Thomas
Juneau. Stephen Foster's beautiful song comes
to life again in this sensitive, lyrical a cappella
setting. The choir has many opportunities to
shimmer throughout the piece, especially in the
sustained tones which invoke an ethereal sense
of longing. "Thou wilt come no more, gentle
Annie, like a flow'r thy spirit did depart; Thou art
gone, alas, like the many that have bloomed in
the summer of my heart..."

The Gift to Be Freearr. Rollo Dilworth. The
traditional Shaker hymn Simple Gifts is reinterpreted
in this setting, highlighted by layered vocal lines and
gospel-style harmonies. Opening simply, the work
gradually builds in dynamics and intensity through
several choruses and then quietly retreats into a
reprise of the opening phrase.

H The Gift to Be Simplearr. Bob Chilcott. Part of
The King's Singers choral series, this entertaining

a rollicking, energetic treatment by Hagler. Full
of color and rhythmic interest and including an

Go, Lassie, Goarr. Cristi Cary Miller. The
popular Scottish folksong Wild Mountain Thyme
is set here for treble choir in a lilting 6/8 meter.
Including an optional part for bodhran (Irish drum),
this is very pretty, and the excellent performance
notes give interesting historical background. Close
vocal harmonies and resonant vowel sounds make
it a joy to sing!

4 Goin Down to Cairoarr. Jeanne Julseth.
Specifically designed for young men's voices, this
arrangement features a vocal hoedown section
which terraces the vocal parts one by one until
there is a sense of vocal energy which demands
a sudden ending to the frenzy. Several surprises
occur along the way utilizing rhythmic repetition
which is indicative of folk music. The tenor line
resides within a cambiata register, staying true to
the beginning stages of unchanged voices.

The Happy Wanderer (Val-de-ri, Val-de-ra)
arr. Dave & Jean Perry. Originally composed
for a German children's chorus, this folksong from
the Swiss Alps is the ultimate happy hiking song.
The piano accompaniment includes an optional
"secondo" part, so you can use two accompanists
at the piano, or use the bouncy, polka-styled
recorded track. Either way, it's upbeat and fun!

l Hard Times Come Again No MoreStephen
Foster/arr. Alice Parker. One of the sweetest of
Stephen Foster's songs, balancing nostalgia with
heartfelt lament, this seems made for male chorus.
Very accessible and singable, with a simple
accompaniment for either piano or guitar, it is a
natural choice for any men's ensemble.

concert piece, this is easy to learn at the beginning
of the school year. Based on a traditional English
folk song, it is ideal for building the important choral
skills of blend, balance and part-singing. Add the
optional viola part, and the effect will be absolutely
beautiful! Highly recommended!

Dating back to sixteenth-century England, Hey! Ho!
Nobody Home! was sung by carolers who went
from door to door to receive food for their singing,
although there is no reference in the lyrics to the
Christmas holiday. Presented as a round, this
swing-style arrangement is easy to learn and fun
to sing.

How Can I Keep from Singing?arr. Andy Beck.
The cherished American folk hymn is treated lovingly
in this easy yet poignant setting. Simple and reverent,
it gracefully captures the early American feeling of
the original. "My life flows on in endless song above
earth's lamentation. I hear the real though far off
hymn that hails a new creation..." Exquisite!

I Bought Me a Catarr. Sally K. Albrecht. Now
available for two-part or SAB choirs, Sally's fresh
treatment of the humorous American folk song is
in "add-on" style, with a new animal introduced
in each verse. Each animal sings a distinctive call,
such as "hissy hissy" for the goose or "chimmy
chuck, chimmy chuck" for the hen. By the end,
there's a whole barnyard of animals singing their
calls together!

4 I Know Where I'm Goingarr. Mark Hayes. While
the origins of this sublime love ballad are uncertain
(either Ireland or Scotland), its beauty is undeniable.
The melancholy text speaks of trading all worldly
trappings for "handsome, winsome Johnny," and
Mark Hayes' skillful choral writing is pure elegance
for women's choirs. Highly recommended!

n I'm Goin' There! (Wayfaring Stranger)arr.
Greg Gilpin. This is more than just an arrangement
of Wayfaring Stranger. Greg has written an original
counterline which becomes a rhythmic ostinato
beneath the traditional tune and the result is
phenomenal! The familiar melody and poignant
words take on a new level of meaning as they soar
above the soulful accompaniment in this superb
arrangement! Highly recommended!

harmonies infuse this powerful, dramatic telling of
the legend of John Henry, complete with the sounds

and response folksongs are combined in this short
medley with piano, conga drum and tambourine,
creating a fun, energetic choral showcase!

Joy Be With You AllDouglas E. Wagner. This

making the changes in tempo and dynamics!
