String Ensemble,String Trio Double Bass - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844441 Composed by Anon. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Folk,Gospel,Instructional,Jazz,Spiritual. Score and parts. 7 pages. Phil Beaman #3363155. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844441). Rock-a-my-Soul is a Traditional song that is equal parts folk, gospel, spiritual, and camp song. Therefore, it is great for school, church, lessons, or with friends in the room.This easy, lively arrangement is divided into five 8-bar sections: Intro, Verse 1 with accented rhythm, Chorus with a jazzy walking bass line, Verse 2 with fuller harmonies, (all sections repeated) then Coda.The Melody goes back and forth between Parts I and II and stays within the range of 1 octave. Part III is super easy and just gently rocks back and forth between 4 repeated half notes (minims) to help anchor the beat and maintain harmony and key while the other parts move around and syncopate.This song teaches light syncopation with a tie into Beat 3. Great harmonies are created when all 3 parts are together. But you won't think of that because this version is so much fun to play!
