I’ve always loved old folk songs. Not necessarily like My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, or The Farmer in the Dell. I’m talking about those haunting, Appalachian tunes that were largely imported from England, Scotland and Ireland.
When the challenge came to me recently to arrange a folk song, I immediately got my spring energy and launched into Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair. That has been a favorite for my wife and me for years. I remember singing in a four-part men’s arrangement of that song, and it was stunning. I wanted to do something just as stunning, but for piano solo. The other two folk songs make out a set of love songs and one song of war.
Each of the pieces in this suite (I Gave My Love a Cherry, When Johnnie Comes Marching Home, & Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair) are available individually, sold under their respective titles, and each has a corresponding MP3.
