Two Folk Songs
(2011) are settings of
traditional American folk
songs, primarily
associated with
Appalachia. In keeping
with the nature of the
source material (and how
it is performed in folk
contexts), the settings
are very straightforward.
Every Night, When the Sun
Goes Down is song with
lyrics that focus on the
transcendent peace that
comes from faith,
overcoming sorrow and
death. Sourwood Mountain
is a jubilant song with a
nonsense refrain (hey-ho
diddle-um day). The organ
setting evokes the spirit
of the banjo. As often
happens in a traditional
folk band, the melody is
elaborated in a more
virtuosic fashion on each
repetition.
