The Blue Ridge

Description

• Composer: Traditional Blue Ridge Folk Tunes
• Arranger: Robert Sheldon
• Publisher: Alfred Music

The Blue Ridge Mountains have a rich history of folk music handed down by the families of the settlers in this region. Four of these wonderful songs have been included in this setting for concert band: the spirited "Jack-a-Roe," the haunting "Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies," the very popular "Tom Dooley" (arranged here in a most unexpected manner), and finally, the beautiful "Barbara Allen."
