This beloved American folk song, also known as “Across the Wide Missouri”, likely originated as a sea chantey and spread west with the pioneers. In this workshop you will learn a challenging but rewarding arrangement of this beautiful tune, inspired in part by a choral version performed by Chanticleer. Complete with variations, moving inner voices, and evocative harmonies, our arrangement will highlight some of the complex musical potential of the mountain dulcimer.
