HOW TO USE THIS PIECE

Shady Grove

 

This traditional Appalachian folk song has been arranged for three-part voicing (SSC or SSA) with a simple arranging technique which makes it easy for early adolescent choirs in mid-level grades.  It is particularly useful for 5th and 6th grade groups without early adolescent baritones (boys in the 2nd phase of change).  The unison sections are intelligently written in a composite range which makes it particularly comfortable for the cambiatas (boys in the first phase of change) when they sing with the girls.  The only harmony utilized is a two-part ostinato sung by the girls to accompany two of the unison sections.
