Notes
Bring a bit of Americana to your Christmas programming with this arrangement of Appalachian carols. Variety too –These carols are not the same ones your audience has heard a thousand times already. Your audience may recognize these traditional tunes, but even if they don’t they’ll appreciate their charm. This energetic, varied arrangement is perfect for a sophisticated pops program at Christmas.
The tunes in Three Appalachian Carols are:
1. Star in the East — A lively, modal hymn tune featuring brass with a ringing accompaniment
2. Can’t You Hear the Lambs A’Cryin’ — A wistful song delicately orchestrated
3. Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day — A 6/8 jig set simply with drums and chordal accompaniment, leading to a finale that wraps all three tunes together
