l Black is the ColorConnor J. Koppin. Rarely, if
ever, have the words and music of this folk song been
so beautifully merged that both love and despair are
both heard and felt. A wonderful baritone solo opens
and closes the piece, and the accompaniment has
a storytelling effect to complement the choral parts.
Teaching opportunities in the areas of dynamics,
phrase shaping, and blend and balance abound in
this arrangement.

In this dynamic arrangement of the Huddie

creative programming gem will provide a marvelous
contrast on your next concert or festival.

charm of Ireland.

thrown in for good measure, the result is pure
delight! Very well done!
