SKU: A0.940831
Composed by Bob Dylan. Arranged by Michael D. McClish. Contemporary. Octavo. 8 pages. Michael D. McClish #4982655. Published by Michael D. McClish (A0.940831).Yes! A choral arrangement of a Bob Dylan Song! This is an SATB+piano arrangement of one of Bob Dylan's perhaps lesser known folk tunes, but one of his most plaintive and heartfelt songs. With Dylan's exquisite sense of analogy, he paints a heartfelt portrait of Americana. The difficulty level would be intermediate. This is an excellent example of homophonic choral writing in an authentic American style, emphasizing characteristics of American folk songs, connection to nature and humanity. This would be an excellent show stopper, end of concert, or other appropriate place in a program. For students, this builds choral tone, has solo, unison, two, three, and full choral singing, and a small solo. The theme builds community, and respect and love for nature and humanity. This has simple warm harmonies that exemplify American folk music, yet with a modern touch. I guarantee you will love this piece and it will find it's place in your permanent library. Perfect For Earth Day or general service in a church setting, the text is general, fits almost any church service. This will be alongside such standards as "The River Is Wide,""Down To The River To Pray" and others. I feel very confident you will love this piece. The music clip is page 6, the most complex verse. Below is a link to hear the entire arrangement.
