Aunu Aunu Balti Kajas-The second selection from a set of Five Latvian Folk Songs this song tells of a young woman picking the whitest of garden roses for a wreath. Its rhythmic 2/4 is playful with off-the-beat accents strewn in and the melody line weaving through the four-part women's arrangement. Featured in the 2001 National ACDA concert this makes a fine festival or competition selection. Moderately difficult. Available: SSAA a cappella.
