Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians - Robert W. Smith

There are a wide number of folk songs from the Appalachian region that are cherished by Americans. Smith selected a number of these tunes, including "The Dear Companion," "Pretty Saro," "Lisbon," "Green Bushes," "Lord Randall," "Lord Thomas." and "Fair Ellinor." Set in a more traditional concert band style, these more obscure folk songs have been scored at the concert band level in a Grainger-esque style by Robert W. Smith. (6:36)
