A Garland Of Old Fashioned Roses (TTBB) (arr. Perry)

Full disclosure: Lou Perry was a mentor and spiritual father to me, and I can't possibly be objective... <;^) This arrangement exemplifies Lou's devotion to barbershop harmony as an art form. Suitable for beginning and intermediate groups, it captures the elements of Tin Pan Alley songs that most appealed to Lou: simplicity, charm, singable melody, exquisite harmonic progressions with lively duets, and a message from an understanding heart. Your group will enjoy singing this beauty, and will learn nuances of barbershop singing while doing it. Unisons, duets, and trios will reveal the magic! Thomas Atwood
