An old English ballad, Scarborough Fair relates the tale of a jilted maiden who instructs her listener to tell her former lover that she will have him back after he performs a series of impossible tasks: making a shirt without a seam, washing it in a dry well, to name a few. A modern equivalent might be when pigs fly. Keep it light and bring out the differing accents in the meters, especially the dotted quarter notes. While there is no percussion part written in the score, we had a djembe player play along to bring out the various accents. Feel free to add your own as well. Have fun!.

The modern a cappella series offers new, challenging a cappella music with a jazzpop sound. The editions are orientated towards the needs of the developing jazz-pop choral scene. a special choral sound, groove, improvisation and choreography play central roles - individual singers can come to the fore as soloists. In short, modern a cappella is a new category of choral music; there are no covered pop songs and also no serious new music, rather grooving, contemporary vocal music with unconventional texts and choral presence. The series is geared towards highly motivated youth choirs as well as ambitious ensembles from all genres.
