J.J. Niles: Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair (Low Voice)

€7.00
John Jacob Niles (1892-1980) was an American singer, composer, and collector of folk songs. In Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair he takes a traditional Appalachian folk song, probably of Scottish origin, and sets it to an original melody, because his father thought the traditional tune was 闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鑼博缁旀辅nright terrible闂. Although it was written in c1920, it wasn闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鏌ユ偘 recorded until 1941, but since then it has become a standard piece in the repertoire of many folk musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. Here it has been arranged for a Low Voice (Alto or Bass) and Piano.
