In this celebration of the rich musical culture of Appalachia, Earlene Rentz has combined three familiar tunes —Wildwood Flower, He’s Gone Away and Sourwood Mountain — into a lively medley. The piano part adds greatly to the flavor of things with clever imitations of country fiddling between presentations of the three songs. It all goes to make this number a stunning selection for Festival and Concert use.
