Banjo Sam [level: Easy] American Folk Song, arr. Jay Broeker

Based on an American folk tune from the southern folk tradition of the early 1900s, this is an upbeat showpiece that incorporates a banjo player, a bit of non-improvised scat singing, a fun text, and the option of clog or tap dancers to create both rhythmic and visual excitement. It was commissioned for and first sung by a treble honor choir.

voicing: SA | catalog number: SBMP 1031 | duration: 5:30 | price: $1.95
accompaniment: piano, clarinet
Emily Dickinson’s whimsical poem comes to sparkling life via a beautiful melody for the singers. The clarinet gets a turn at the melody, and the piano adds color and support. Mostly in unison, the two-part writing is equal in range. Some humming, along with buzzing of the bee sounds, make this is a great piece for teaching vocal techniques to young singers.
