Product Description
Rock-a-my-Soul is a Traditional song that is equal parts folk, gospel, spiritual, and camp song. Therefore, it is great for school, church, lessons, or with friends in the room.
This easy, lively arrangement is divided into five 8-bar sections: Intro, Verse 1 with accented rhythms, Chorus with a jazzy walking bass line, Verse 2 with fuller harmony, (all sections repeated) then Coda.
The Melody goes back and forth between Parts I and II and stays within the range of 1 octave. Part III is super easy and just gently rocks back and forth between 4 repeated half notes (minims) to anchor the beat and maintain harmony and key while the other parts move around and syncopate.
This song teaches light syncopation with a tie into Beat 3. Great harmonies are created when all 3 parts are together. But you won't think about that because this version is so much fun to play!
Range - 9th - low Eb (1 ledger line below) to fourth line F
