CGE26 Bring Me Little Water, Silvy (SSAB a cappella with Opt. Percussion)
Description
In this outstanding, dynamic arrangement of the Huddie Ledbetter tune, Greg has captured the strong rhythmic pulse and harmonic energy that is characteristic of the Lead Belly style. To intensify the driving pulse of the chorus, it is suggested that Percussion instruments (Shaker, Guiro, High Drum and Low Drum) and Body Percussion be added. Suggestions for both are included, along with some interesting historical information. This creative programming gem will provide a marvelous contrast on your next concert or festival.
Voicing: SSAB with optional percussion accompaniment
Composer: Huddie Ledbetter
Arranger: Greg Gilpin
