About the Score

A setting of the classic folk song, popular during the late 1950’s and 1960’s, recorded in various versions by Joan Baez, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger, and Paul McCartney. The origins of the song are unclear, and it contains elements of a lot of different traditions. It is in turn sorrowful and hopeful. This setting features a rolling, syncopated piano part, and is within reach of most choirs. It is appropriate for both secular and sacred settings.
