Rich harmony and texture take this simple Irish folk song to new heights. Blaine Shover's a cappella arrangement of Molly Malone is a colorful tapestry of thick harmonic textures and pure, quiet unisons. Written for SATB, a cappella, there is some divisi in each voice part, which adds to the brilliant collage of tone colors that permeates the piece. Melody and vocal accompaniment alternate between the men's and women's sections, then all four parts burst into lush harmony on the refrain. Great for contest or festival!
