Effective Accompaniment for Folk Vocals
This collection is quite useful for vocal coaching and collaborative piano. The melody line arrangements with occasional chord symbols provide a clear framework without overly complex piano textures, allowing the vocalist to shine. It's excellent for working on folk styling and authentic phrasing. The Chieftains' originals are well-represented, offering solid support for singers.
