Shawnee Press Down by the Riverside

Becki has created a fresh and jazzy arrangement of this familiar folk song. The piece uses chromatic intervals with a jazz piano accompaniment, a “walking” bass line in the SAB voicing to feature your men, and an optional descant for the women to sing in three-part harmony. A workhorse for the middle school and elementary teacher, this choral is appropriate throughout the year promoting peace, unity or patriotism. Available: SAB, 2-part, PianoTrax CD 2006 (35016962).
