Shady Grove

Description

Ever ask your intermediate students to sing their parts? This one's for you! This American fiddling song is arranged by Renata Bratt so that every section gets a chance to sing the song as well as play the tune with idiomatic fiddle breaks based on the tune. Sounds great without the singing as well! The fast driving rhythmic power of offbeat accents in cut time is emphasized in this accessible D Major arrangement. This tune calls for fast left hand fingers and some quick bow-crossings, though it stays in the first position. Great fun! (1:40)
