for SATB choir and jazz trio or piano solo
This exciting collection by Bob Chilcott gives a jazzy twist to nine favourite folk songs from around the world, including 'Scarborough Fair', 'A la claire fontaine', and 'Waltzing Matilda' as you've never heard them before! Each song is presented in its original language, and an English singing translation is provided where applicable. The accompanied songs can be performed with piano solo or with jazz-trio accompaniment; a separate part is available for the bassist, and the drummer
should play along ad lib. They can also be performed with the fantastic jazz-trio backings on the CD included with the spiral-bound edition. This wonderful, varied collection will revitalise the repertoire of any choir and is guaranteed to give audiences a fresh perspective on these traditional
songs.
