Translation

Early One Morning. Oliver Barton. A cappella. Secular , Folksong. Language. English. SATB.

Original

An arrangement of the folksong, growing from a single voice up to a rapturous moment when fleetingly the first sopranos touch a top B flat. This note is borrowed from Percy Grainger’s setting. except that his is up a tone I think and is therefore a C. , but his version breaks into about a million parts and is too tricky for a non-audition choir. Hence this arrangement.
