Molly Malone

Rich harmony and texture take this simple Irish folk song to new heights. Blaine Shover's a cappella arrangement of “Molly Malone” is a colorful tapestry of thick harmonic textures and pure, quiet unisons. Written forSATB, a cappella, there is some divisi in each voice part, which adds to the brilliant collage of tone colors that permeates the piece. Melody and vocal accompaniment alternate between the men's and women's sections, then all fourparts burst into lush harmony on the refrain. Great for contest or festival!
