Published by Chris WebsterThe Folk Uke series offers a musical "construction kit" for traditional folk songs. Each song begins with the vocal part set for medium voice (male or female) with chords for ukulele. This is followed by a fingerstyle accompaniment and a ukulele solo with introduction and coda. These different parts can be assembled in different ways, for example, very simply, with voice and strummed chords, or more elaborately: intro, verse 1 with chords, verse 2, fingerstyle, solo, verse 3, etc., or as a duet, with uke 1 playing the melody and uke 2 playing chords or fingerstyle accompaniment.
The Keys of Canterbury has variants around England and Scotland. The Aeolian mode melody was first printed in 1849. The song is here arranged for re-entrant GCEA tuning. The audio sample is the Intro, Solo and Coda.
