for CCBar and piano
Ian Crawford breathes new life into this traditional American tune by employing a bluegrass-inspired style, jaunty syncopations, and an upbeat tempo. The light but supportive piano accompaniment uses punchy clustered chords, and the melody is shared between the voice parts. This flexible arrangement is accommodating and idiomatically written for changing male voices.
