Product Description
This setting of the traditional Scottish song of farewell is designed as an 8-part arrangement that male and female quartets or choruses can sing together to finish a joint performance, as well as two separate 4-part arrangements for the respective groups to use when they're not sharing the stage. It was conceived to address the 'cost-per-wear' problem of special occasion pieces that only get performed occasionally but still need rehearsing to the same standard as the rest of the set.
This is the setting for women's voices, in which the melody is taken for the most part by female leads, then handed off to the basses for the 3rd phrase of each verse. The first verse is homophonic, while the second explores a variety of melody+accompaniment textures before restoring the harmonic texture to introduce a tag that blossoms out from unison.
The versions for men's voicing and combined voicings are also available for purchase.
N.B. This arrangement is notated in treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written) clefs.
Vocal Ranges:
Tenor: E flat 4 - E flat 5
Lead: B flat 3 - C5
Bari: B flat 3 - C5
Bass: E flat 3 - G4
