Published by Chris Webster (A0.1205287). The Folk Uke series offers a musical construction kit for traditional folk songs. Each song begins with the vocal part set for medium voice with chords for ukulele. This is followed by a fingerstyle accompaniment and a ukulele solo with introduction and coda. These different parts can be assembled in different ways, for example, very simply, with voice and strummed chords, or more elaborately: intro, verse 1 with chords, verse 2 with fingerstyle accompaniment followed by the solo, verse 3, etc., or as a duet, with uke 1 playing the melody and uke 2 playing chords or fingerstyle accompaniment. The Golden Vanity is a popular folk song with many variants in tune and lyrics. It has been recorded by several well-known artists such as Pete Seeger, Steeleye Span and Peter, Paul and Mary. This version was collected orally by the arranger in Cambridgeshire. It is here arranged for voice and ukulele with re-entrant GCEA tuning. The audio sample is the Intro, Solo and Coda.
