Three Appalachian Carols for orchestra Pamela J. Marshall

Bring a bit of Americana to your Christmas programming with this arrangement of Appalachian carols. These less familiar carols are not the same ones that your audience has heard a thousand times already. Your audience may recognize these traditional tunes, but even if they don't they'll appreciate their charm. This energetic, varied arrangement is perfect for a sophisticated orchestral pops program at Christmas.

The tunes in Three Appalachian Carols are:

1. Star in the East -- A lively, modal hymn tune featuring brass with a ringing accompaniment

2. Can't You Hear the Lambs A'Cryin' -- A wistful song delicately orchestrated

3. Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day -- A 6/8 jig set simply with drums and chordal accompaniment, leading to a finale that wraps all three tunes together

Instrumentation: 2222-4231, harp, 2pc, timp, strings
Duration 8 minutes
