Crawdad Hole!

Description

Voice 1, Voice 2, Piano — This American folk song probably had its roots at the end of the Civil War and during reconstruction. It is said that it may have been first sung by the workers building levees on the Mississippi river (in the south) to prevent flooding.This arrangement, like the song, is lively and, like many folk songs, full of funny, offbeat lyrics. There are a lot of opportunities for solos, rhythmic speech and even movement.Below is the four-beat rhythm to use where marked in the score. Gilpin's Crawdad Hole embodies fun in a rhythmic, playful arrangement of this beloved American Folk song. With conservative ranges appropriate for treble voices and opportunities for solo and body percussion, it just doesn't get more fun than this.
