(Level IV) Annie Laurie – Paying homage to the beautiful Annie Laurie
and Scotland, this arrangement evokes a bucolic landscape while featuring the
baritone, soprano and tenor solos. Somewhat similar to Danny Boy, the
arrangement starts off with the background lines weaving a little brook. In the
second verse, different parts have some counter-lines that are their
"solo" moments to be brought out. The song builds to its climax at
measures 60 - 62, followed by a reflective moment of silence and the ending
reminiscent of the intro. Written for Vox One.
SATB a cappella.
