Sing Hi Down Traditional / Arr. Barry E. Kopetz

The original title of this charming folk song is The Two Little Sisters, and it contains a chant-like phrase 'sing hi down.' This particular lyric is sung with great energy as it carries much of the joy that prevails throughout the song. After a majestic introduction, the piece begins in earnest at a brisk tempo with the melody combined with a lively off-beat accompaniment. Arpeggios emphasize the 'sing hi down' portion of the theme and are followed by a brief dance-like interlude that leads to the close, capturing the essence of this joyful tune.
