This alternately serenely sonoric and joyously jumping folk song first came to life as a commission by the famed chorus Chanticleer (recorded on their album Then and There, Here and Now). For Christopher Creviston and his Arizona State University Saxophone Studio, Garrop has created a stellar arrangement for double SATB saxophone choir (or more). Watch the ASU Saxophone Choir having fun with Garrop's arrangement on YouTube.
