for unaccompanied SAATTBB, with baritone soloThis is one of the greatest and best loved of American folksongs of loss and longing. It is richly harmonized with divisi that are easily mastered, and is entirely convincing even with a small chorus.
Antony Baldwin (b.1957)
"Harmonies are rich at times and the result is a beautiful melody over an atmospheric background of sound." - Music Teacher March 2003
"[Baldwin] artfully blurs the strophic structure of the song into something like a miniature tone poem. It's beautifully done, melancholic but never sentimental." - Peter Dale, Choir & Organ Sept 02
