Folksongs
4 The Parting Glassarr. Thomas Juneau. The
Parting Glass, a traditional Scottish and Irish
folk song, is traditionally sung at the end of a
gathering of friends. This setting reflects the
tender yet wistful feelings of a group of friends
who know that the time has been spent well in
good company. This will make an outstanding
concert closer, especially if performed with the
optional part for flute or violin!

Pineywood MountainJay Althouse. Want a
fresh folk song that doesn't sound like an old folk
song? This is it! Words inspired by, and borrowed
from, traditional American folk songs are set to
sprightly new music, resulting in a hand-clappin',
knee-slappin', highly rhythmic original with an
authentic folk-song sound. Add the optional string
bass and snare drum to bring out the folk-dance
feel. Your singers will have a great time with this!

Polly Wolly Doodlearr. Brad Printz. You've
never imagined this popular American folksong
with such interesting character before! With
generous sharing of the melody in all voice
parts, this innovative arrangement also uses
piano four-hands, jugs, pop bottles, kazoos and
body percussion! You might even consider some
simple choreography in the middle that will set
every toe tapping in the audience and on the
risers! A high point of your concert or festival, it's
also a great concert closer and a wonderful slice
of Americana.

Robinson. Now a cappella choirs can sing the
popular American folk song in this beautiful,

Highly recommended!

whose call can be heard in the flute part throughout.
It's a delightful teaching moment in song.

H This Ol' Manarr. Greg Gilpin. This Ol' Man has
never sounded like this before! In an incredibly
clever way, Greg has taken the original song

knock" joke thrown in! This will definitely be a
highlight of your program!

tale of John Henry comes to life in this rhythmic
call-and-response style setting. The historical notes

accompaniment, you can even hear the sound of a
hammer hitting a spike!
