Performance Notes
nl
y
This folk song, originally penned by Stephen Foster in 1850, has been arranged using the
original dialect of the time. Have fun with this fast-paced piece! O
Intentional time spent on diction will enhance the performance and capture the mood of the
piece. It would be appropriate to slide the voices in mm. 56-58 to emulate sinking into a hole. About the Arranger
