Product Description

A folk song known variously as "No John, no", "Oh no, John, no", or "No ,Sir, no" - arranged for SSAT or SSAB four part mixed choir.
This jolly folk song is a conversation between the amorous "John" and a lady he wishes to marry, but there is an unexpected obstacle to his success - whatever he says to her, she is obliged to answer "No". The couple overcome this problem as the song progresses and joyfully agree to marry at the end.
The tenor and basses sing the part of John in unison, and the Lady is sung in harmony by three equal women's parts soprano or alto. All of the vocal lines are within mezzo range and the only harmonies are in the different versions of "no" sung by the women. The piano accompaniment provides necessary colour and the movement towards a happy conclusion is signposted by key changes.
I also have a version of this arranged for four women's parts where the part of John is sung by altos.
