This celebration of the rich tapestry of Scottish folk music from Ruth Elaine Schram is full of singable melodies and sumptuous harmony. The diverse scoring and contrasting choral textures provide a satisfying balance, and sections with divisi add interest. Teachable moments abound in shaping phrases, breath control, dynamic nuance, and creating tall vowels. The folk songs included are "Loch Lomond;" "Ye Banks and Braes;" "Annie Laurie;" "Green Grow the Rashes, O;" "Charlie Is My Darling;" and "Wild Mountain Thyme.". |
