'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'. |
