Product Description
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 Seeds of Love was made popular by the 1967 film, Far from the Madding Crowd, where it was sung by the character, Joseph Poorgrass. There are many variant lyrics around the UK. The lyrics for this version were chosen because they are relatively short, with only five verses. The audio sample is the Intro, Solo, Variation and Coda. The arrangement is for ukulele with re-entrant GCEA tuning.
