This English folk song will be recognised instantly by British listeners as the tune formed the first few opening bars of the ‘Radio 4 UK Theme’ an orchestral arrangement of traditional British airs compiled by Fritz Spiegl which was played every morning at the switch-on of BBC Radio 4 for almost 28 years.The lyrics of Early One Morning can be found in publications as far back as 1787 but the well-known melody was not printed until ca. 1855-1859 in William Chappell’s publication of his ‘National English Airs’. As is usual with folk art of any kind no two versions of the song agree beyond the second line although the subject is always thesame - a damsel's complaint for the loss of her lover.In this Novello edition Early One Morning is arranged for SATB Voices with Piano accompaniment for practice only by Thomas F. Dunhill.

String Bass Guitarone-Riqui Riqui Riqurran is a lively and exciting Venezuelan folk song which has been beautifully arranged for four-part (SATB) chorus by Gregg Smith. This version can be sung a cappella or with a string bass (or guitarone) accompaniment which is notated in the score. The piano accompaniment part however is scored for rehearsal purposes only. This is an enjoyable song to perform and will bring a South-American flavour to your repertoire.The English words have been provided by Alicia Smith.

Beautiful choral work in the style of an English folk song. Soaring melodies gorgeous harmonies with much movement in the inner voices. Text is touching.

8 Four-Part Settings for Choir a cappella [mix ch]. Par STOLARZ OHAD. The Sephardic culture originates from the Jewish population of Spain that was banished at the end of the 15th century and afterwards spread to the whole of the Mediterranean area, the Balkan and North Africa. Its unique Spanish dialect Ladino was preserved, finding musical expression in ballads, lyrical and paraliturgical songs for the most part. The choir conductor and composer Ohad Stolarz took eight of these Sephardic Folk Songs and arranged them as a cappella settings for four-part mixed choir. These arrangements may be performed both as a cycle and individually, being also suitable for non-professional choirs due to their lack of difficulty. The musically and harmonically colorful, partly also exotic pieces therefore present an enrichment for the program of every interculturally interested choir. The informative preface and the translations of the lyrics into German and English enable the content-related engagement with Sephardic culture, too. Further choral literature on this topic can be found in the volumes Sepharad and Aschkenaz by Alon Wallach. / Date parution : 2022-02-24/ Recueil / SATB a Cappella
