FOUR AMERICAN FOLK SONGS SSAA unaccompanied Moderately Difficult

Skip to My Lou This setting is a brisk one, with coy syncopation and lots of interplay. The tune itself is even inverted at one point. Not easy but the fun makes up for it. Duration: 2:15

All the Pretty Little Horses This minor-mode lullaby is set in close harmonies which amplify its dual nature: sometimes soothing, sometimes a bit ominous. Duration: 2:50

8905 $2.35

Poor Wayfaring Stranger The textures vary from spare to lush, reflecting the pathos of this mournful folk song. Duration: 2:50

8906 $2.35

She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain With it’s swinging rhythms and laughing motif throughout, this is a fitting conclusion to Ferko’s set of four American folk songs. Eschewing weightier interpretations of the text, this setting is pure fun. Duration: 2:48
