Description
Award-winning composer, arranger, pianist, and recording artist Mark Hayes has enriched his acclaimed vocal solo series with a charming new collection titled 10 Folk Songs for Solo Voice. This compilation features traditional melodies from Scotland, Wales, and the United States, showcasing a diverse range of emotions and themes. The selections vary from the wistful "I Know Where I'm Going" to the fervent "Aura Lee," and include historical pieces like "Goober Peas" from the Civil War era and the "Railroad Medley," which reflects the spirit of the nineteenth-century American frontier. Additionally, the collection presents lighthearted courting songs such as "Billy Boy" and early popular tunes like Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer." The songs are available in both medium high and medium low voicings, accompanied by CD recordings. A full performance Listening CD, featuring all ten tracks in various voicings, is also offered.
