| Description: The American folksinger and balladeer, John Jacob Niles, adapted this wonderful Appalachian carol in 1933, from a fragment of music he heard in Murphy, North Carolina. It's haunting melody evokes the star filled quiet of a rural, southern winter night. This arrangement should be interpreted with great expressiveness throughout, trying always to capture the essence of this wonderful Appalachian melody. |
