Product Description

The piano and flute score is 7 pages in length, but Ms. Bujacich extracted the flute alone as well which is only 2 pages. This entire PDF then is 10 pages total with the cover. Clean, professionally notated.

This arrangement by Joan Bujacich is in D Dorian mode. The flute plays the melody for the first two verses and then in the third verse it goes up an octave and the piano imitates some of the melodic lines, making for a nice dialogue between the two instruments.

This medieval folk song uses the melody later used by Simon & Garfunkel. It was first sung by Mark Anderson (18741953), a retired lead miner from Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham, England to Ewan MacColl in 1947.

Scarborough Fair," was popularized in the United States by the 1960s singer-songwriting duo Simon & Garfunkel.The folk song is about a market fair that took place in the town of Scarborough in Yorkshire during medieval times. Like any fair, it attracted traders, entertainers and food vendors, along with other hangers-on. The fair peaked in the late 14th century but continued to operate until the end of the 1700s. Now, several fairs are held in remembrance of the original.

Be sure to check out Ms. Bujacich's arrangement page. She has many other great arrangements for Flute and Piano and solo piano.
