Appalachian Carol: Timpani

This lovely American carol was believed to have originated in Southern Appalachia in the early 1900s. It is a beautiful lullaby with a simple melody and lush harmonies. Jerry Brubaker's compelling countermelodies combined with his contemporary flair enhance this somewhat traditional carol. Easy rhythms and sensible ranges make this a snap to prepare and a perfect choice for your concert band holiday program. Don't pass this one by. (3:51)
