With this collection of 26 folk hymns, author Peter Irvine brings shape-note music into the home, and provides adaptable music for a variety of instrumental ensembles. This format allows for instruments such as the mountain dulcimer, Native American or transverse flute, penny whistle, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and so forth. Anyone can play shape-note music, even when Sacred Harp gatherings or ??singings? are not easily accessible. The hymns in this collection are drawn from various classic shape-note sources like Southern Harmony (1835) and The Sacred Harp (1844). Presented in lead-sheet format (melody, chords, and lyrics), and written in keys accessible to all C instruments and several D instruments such as the penny whistle and mountain dulcimer, the material offers plenty of arrangements. Hymns can be sung by a soloist, in unison by a small group with chordal accompaniment, or a mixed ensemble.

Based on hymns by Freeman Lewis & Daniel Teasley. Commissioned for the 2020 Handbell Musicians of America Area 5 Spring Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, this piece starts open and stately before launching with rhythmic energy into a Bluegrass-infused toe-tapper. It brilliantly pairs the Freeman Lewis hymn tune BOURBON (I Take My Refuge in the Lord) with a Daniel Teasley hymn of similar assurance. Marts, mallets, plucks, ring-touches and more are sure to excite your concert audiences and congregations alike; and the optional band (fiddle, tambourine, bass, and guitar/mandolin/banjo) may be added in any combination for extra charm!.

Full Score and Parts plus CD with Printable Parts for Go Sing It on the Mountain - 65/2073L The birth of Jesus is a scene of awe-inspiring humility: God in human form, born in a lowly manger for our salvation. Pepper Choplin's distinctive, folk-infused musical style is particularly well-suited to capture this story. Employing a highly-inventive mixture of mountain melodies, folk hymns, spirituals, familiar carols, and original music that is sure to surprise and delight, Go Sing It on the Mountain proclaims the good news from the prophet Isaiah's proclamation, Comfort, O comfort my people, to the final exuberant celebration: Joy to the World! Christ is born! Solos, Duets, and Trios shine the spotlight on featured singers and nicely complement the SATB choruses.

Composed in the spirit of folk music, the cantata combines traditional sounds with more rustic elements creating a blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like Away In a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem dance with traditional spirituals such as Children, Go Where I Send Thee and Go, Tell It on the Mountain. Sacred Harp tunes are re-tooled for Advent and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies.
