Poor Wayfaring Stranger

This American folk song about a plaintive soul on the journey through life originated in the 19th century. Arranged in the style of Alex Boye's recording, it begins with a solemn, vocal drone over which a soloist performs the first verse. The whole ensemble comes in on the chorus, reminiscent of a traditional spiritual. This bluesy rendition incorporates a diversity of styles culminating in a huge final chorus. A great choice for any show with a journeying theme.

A complete digital bundle is also available that includes all the voicings, instrumental parts and an accompaniment track, and part-dominant tracks.
