This charming fiddling song from the southern mountains of Appalachia is engaging and humorous featuring progressive use of intervals in harmonic structure (unison thirds and fourths fifths); antiphonal singing between womenand men; and a brief piano solo. The accompaniment captures the rhythmic feel of a country fiddle and the boisterous excitement of a hoedown is both heard and felt in the harmonic refrain “...Hey ho dee-iddle-um-day!” Treat your choir and your audience to a journey up Sourwood Mountain.
