Description
This version of the anonymous Ballad of Green Broom has been arranged for a low alto or high tenor voice (the two scores in the zip file are identical except that the tenor version is in the "octave down" clef).
The sound sample was performed by Margaret Jackson-Roberts with me on guitar.
I have also make a more complex arrangement of this song for three part choir (or three soloists) (available on this site) and a version of saxophone quartet and clarinet quartet as part of my "Folksong Wedidng" available at Musik Fabrik.
