The Keel Row [HL:1312745]

Arranging a beloved traditional song can be a difficult task, as one must walk a delicate tightrope - add fresh appeal, but not to the point of obscuring the song's simplicity and raw, authentic humanity. Cristi Cary Miller passes this test with flying colors, turning out a delightful rendition of the Tyneside folk song “The Keel Row.” Alive with dancing rhythms and frolicking counterpoint, with an optional flute part to add sparkle.
