This popular folk song is a great way to introduce your choir to independent part singing and compound time.  An energetic, delightful piano part allows the piece to continue moving forward as it playfully “dances”  its way to its conclusion.  Arranger Earlene Rentz has provided some very helpful exercises for preparing the piece (Rehearsal Prep Sheet), which will make a great selection for Contest and Festival performance.
