By Stewart J Wallace. By Traditional. Arranged by Stewart J Wallace. 19th Century,A Cappella,Comedy,Folk,Traditional. Octavo. 12 pages. Stewart J Wallace #753994. Published by Stewart J Wallace (A0.1153733).An arrangement of the traditional West Country English folksong "Widicombe Fair" for SATB a cappella voices. This is a "ghostly" and humorous tale of Tom Pearce's old grey mare and the motley collection of Bill Brewer, Jan Stewar, Peter Gurney, Peter Davey, Daniel Widdon, Harry Hawke and old Uncle Tom Cobley who all endeavour to go to Widicombe Fair with the horse as their means of transport. The melody is mainly in the tenors and basses at the beginning, and there is a minor section for two verses in the middle. In the original song there are up to 9 verses with several variations, but this arrangement cuts it down to 8 verses which is still almost 4 minutes running time! A simple piano, guitar, or accordion accompaniment can be added by playing the chord symbols and the choir should be encouraged to add vocal effects to bring this song (and possibly the old grey mare) alive.
