Heroes and Vagabonds

This vocal solo collection is specifically designed for the boy's changing voice by Mark Patterson, a middle school teacher who deals with this elusive musical instrument almost exclusively. The book contains songs appropriate for three stages of the young voice - the boy alto, tenor, and baritone - which are written in appropriate clefs and with texts that a young boy can enjoy. A groundbreaking resource for music educators, this is something that a teacher can use year after year with different ages, or an individual boy can use it to keep singing throughout his junior high years. Titles taken from folk songs, sea chanties, and newly composed works include: Give Me Wings (O Waly Waly); Red River Valley; Glouchester Moors; Sing to Me Once Again Thy Song; British Grenadiers; Baloo Baleerie; Come Sail Away with Me; I'm Bound Away; Vagabond and Skye Boat Song.
