From the Catalan region of Spain (Barcelona) comes this lovely folk song, beautifully arranged for women's voices by Jackie O'Neill. The text, reminiscent of "Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier, " tells the story of a young lad going off to war. Simple, yet charming, FAREWELL, LAD is the perfect concert or festival choice for your SSA choir. A guitar-like piano accompaniment adds a Spanish touch. |
