SKU: A0.1201869
Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Chris Webster. Folk. Score (Chords/Lyrics). 6 pages. Chris Webster #800485. Published by Chris Webster (A0.1201869).The Folk Uke series offers a musical "construction kit" for traditional folk songs. Each song begins with the vocal part set for medium voice with chords for ukulele. This is followed by a fingerstyle accompaniment and a ukulele solo with introduction and coda. These different parts can be assembled in different ways, for example, very simply, with voice and strummed chords, or more elaborately: intro, verse 1 with chords, verse 2 with fingerstyle accompaniment followed by the solo, verse 3, etc., or as a duet, with uke 1 playing the melody and uke 2 playing chords or fingerstyle accompaniment.
The Truth Sent from Above is a traditional Christmas carol originating in Shropshire and Herefordshire. The melody is in 5/4 time in the Dorian mode and has a notable similarity to the folk song, Searching for Lambs. The vocal part is in two sections: for solo voice and in two-part harmony (the latter should be sung a capella). There are two variations, one in "folk fingerpicking" style, the other contrapuntal. The intro and coda represent Christmas bells and could be doubled on glockenspiel or toy xylophone as in the audio sample. This arrangement is for medium voice(s) and ukulele with re-entrant GCEA tuning.
