Piano,Violin - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.972799 Composed by Rachel Barrett. Arranged by John Sandford. Folk. 5 pages. John A Sandford #6072411. Published by John A Sandford (A0.972799). This tune has gone by the name of Rachel's Polka for many years as it was originally composed to be part of a set of lively polkas. However, as often happens with music, the beauty of Rachel's tune was only really appreciated once the tempo was slowed down. It has therefore been retitled to suit the new feel of the piece. The accompaniment can also be provided by acoustic guitar as illustrated by the MP3 recording. The Youtube link starts at 7 minutes.

If so, this SAB arrangement of the Goffin/King classic is just right for you. The men mostly sing the verses with the middle 8 section sung by the ladies. The bluesy piano backing adds a slightly more relaxed vibe to the arrangement.

Published by John A Sandford (A0.972788). Composition for Alto Sax with piano accompaniment. Ideal concert piece for players of modest ability. Samba type bass line patterns in the piano underpin a lyrical melody line in a jazz style.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.972802 Composed by Spiritual. Arranged by John Sandford. Christian,Sacred,Spiritual. Octavo. 1 pages. John A Sandford #6255085. Published by John A Sandford (A0.972802). This spiritual has been arranged for 4 part SATB choir, with further sub-division of voice parts in the two verses. The piece is of intermediate level because of the chromatic harmonies and rhythmic changes. However, it is a piece that would work well in a concert program of sacred music or even mixed items as it is also full of dynamic contrasts to grab the attention of the listener.

John A Sandford #6052539. Published by John A Sandford (A0.972798). A song inspired by a journey home from a folk concert. We saw a caravan up ahead and it looked like a disco was taking place inside it as there was an orange flashing light. When we got closer, it became obvious that the caravan had broken down and the orange light belonged to the tow truck that was pulling it. This version is a piano reduction of the original recording which features backing vocals and fiddle counter melodies. .
