Traditional Appalachian
Carol.
This
arrangement of the
beautiful Appalachian
carol is very expressive
and meant to be performed
with much freedom and
thoughtful attention to
the words, dynamic
contrasts, and tempo
alterations. Once you
have learned this piece
and are familiar with
these changes to volume
and tempo indications,
watch your director very
carefully for cues for
these subtleties. It is
very important that you
stay together and make
these changes as a
unified group. The effect
will be amazing! Even
though this song begins
very gently, be certain
to pronounce your words
carefully and with good
diction. There are many
words that sound similar:
wonder / wander / under,
for example. The beauty
of the poetry and
alliteration will be lost
on your listener if your
lyrics cannot be
understood. Also, the
story is in the words,
carried to the listener
on the wings of the
melody and arrangement.
Always, no matter what
your volume level and
even at the very softest
levels, pronounce,
pronounce, pronounce!
Enjoy the ethereal beauty
and reflective musings of
this meditative piece! ~
