The great American composer, Kirke Mechem has taken this classic “folk song” of unknown origin and set it for SATB chorus, baritone soloist (playing the part of the poet of this text) and piano or organ with optional string orchestra. This is a “theme and variations” arrangement and one that will challenge any fine choir without challenging the ears of the listeners. Score and parts for string orchestra available on rental from the publisher.
