HEROES AND VAGABONDS
Solo Songs for the Male Changing Voice
arr. Mark Patterson - BriLee Music Publishing
Heroes and Vagabonds is a vocal solo collection specifically designed for the boy's changing voice by Mark Patterson, a middle school teacher who deals with this elusive musical instrument almost exclusively. The book contains songs appropriate for three stages of the young voice - the boy alto, tenor and baritone - and are written in appropriate clefs and with texts that a young boy can enjoy. A groundbreaking resource for music educators, this is something that a teacher can use year after year with different age levels, or an individual boy can use it to keep singing throughout his junior high years.
Titles taken from folk songs, sea chanties and newly composed works include: Give Me Wings (O Waly Waly); Red River Valley; Glouchester Moors; Sing to Me Once Again Thy Song; British Grenadiers; Baloo Baleerie; Come Sail Away with Me; I'm Bound Away; Vagabond and Skye Boat Song.
