Folksongs
n The Bull Frogarr. Lon Beery. Your young singers
will delight in the nonsense syllables of this clever
American folksong setting! "There was a bull frog
living in the spring, sing song Polly won't you ky-
me-o. He had such a cold that he could not sing...
Kee-mo dar-ro-wah, Hee-ma-ho..." Phonetic subtext
is provided for the nonsense words as the bull frog
story unfolds. This is great fun! Highly recommended!

n Carrickfergusarr. Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory.
This lyrical Irish folksong is a favorite among
honor choirs. "I wish I was in Carrickfergus, only
for nights in Ballygrant...but the sea is wide and I
can't swim over, nor have I the wings to fly..." Full of
melancholy feeling, it really captures the old-world
charm of Ireland.

H
Ching a Ring Chaw (and Great Gettin' Up
Mornin')arr. Linda Spevacek. These two
traditional songs fit together amazingly well in
this excellent concert/festival selection! Each
voice part becomes more independent as the
arrangement progresses, and when all the parts
do their own thing at the same time, with some
"Hallelujah's" thrown in for good measure, the
result is pure delight! Very well done!

H ChumbaraDave & Jean Perry. Creative
possibilities abound with this fun, frolicking
arrangement of a French folksong that will remind

rap-style middle section, and an extremely clever
"dramatic" ending. You can even personalize the
piece by substituting a school name or special
teacher's name in place of one of the nonsense
syllables. A real audience pleaser!

4 A Cowboy's LifeDan Davison. This is the
perfect feature for middle school boys! The lyrics,
based on a poem by James Barton Adams,
glamorize the life of a cowboy while the music
supports the voices and lays down a solid, riding
beat. There are plenty of short solos to go around,
and the simple chorus will produce a full, masculine
sound. "I sleep beneath the star light and I think of a
pretty gal/With the golden hair who is waiting there
at the bars of the home corral."

4 Crawdad Songarr. John Leavitt. Accessible
voice parts coupled with hand claps and toe taps
help create this lively, energized arrangement of

textures. Enhance the fun piano accompaniment

This piece is a terrific choice for festivals, fall or
spring concerts, and end-of-year performances.

4 A Day Upon the SeaVictor C. Johnson. Of the
many sea-themed pieces available for male voices,
this original is definitely one of the best. It's a vibrant,
melodically-driven setting of a seafaring poem by
Allan Cunningham, with comfortable ranges for both
tenor and bass parts. The stylistic piano part adds
solid support throughout this robust work. Your guys
will love it! "Oh, give to me a flowing sea, and a wind
that follows fast, and fills the white and rustling sail
and bends the gallant mast..."

a rich musical tapestry which will give your choir a
very rewarding learning experience!
