Shady Grove world premiere arrangement by Robert I. Hugh

At the Organization of American Kodaly Educator's Conference, Hartford, CT March 22, 2013, The Henry James Memorial School select Chorus directed by Colleen Thompson performed the World Premiere of the SAB/divisi arrangement of Shady Grove, by Robert I. Hugh. It was very well received...as you will see.
Enjoy the piano, mandolin, conga, and washboard that accompany the vocals on this funk/blue grass version of a well loved folk song.

Andrew - it is nice that you wrote! It was a great musical moment - and a really wonderful piece of music!!

I'm in that. Right in the middle of the baritone section.

We're working this in my choir now and might I say that the baritones held together quite well, I know that both times you change the chorus never the end aren't easy but it is such a beautiful and fun piece

So rhythmic, so funky, so Robbie!
Yay Rob! Great song - you can hear the influence of your time in Kenya - and I love the washboard, djembe and mandolin!
Your proud bro, Grayson
