Various Arrangers: American Folksongs

Song Name   Arranger   Voicing
Poor Lonesome Cowboy   Marilyn Crabb Epp / Norman Luboff   SSAA
Sacramento Sis Joe   Jackson Berkey   SSAA
All The Pretty Little Horses   Emily Crocker   SSA

'Poor Lonesome Cowboy' is an original arrangement by Norman Luboff of this famous cowboy's lament. 'All The Pretty Little Horses' is a traditional Southeastern American folksong featuring canonic imitation, vocal ostinati, and delicately intertwining melodies, this a cappella setting is stunning. 'Sacramento - Sis Joe' is a wiry, spiky combination of two American folk songs; one very well-known; one somewhat obscure. The better known is Stephen Foster's 'Camptown Races' but it's appearance here, however, is with a completely different text that captures the excitement of a mid-1800's trip to California in search of gold! 'Sis Joe' is a traditional railroad song that was used by Aaron Copland in 'Rodeo'.
