What’s the Story? I wrote this arrangement for the Michigan Educators Mens Ensemble, a fantastic small group that’s been active for the last 10 years or so. It was premiered at the ACDA Divisional Convention. Selected for the Jo-Michael Scheibe Male Chorus Series, could a lumberjack story be any more appropriate for the men’s choir? Premiered at an ACDA conference to great applause, the writing of this Michigan folk song is strong and rewarding, with some Barbershop strains to boot. Great for all TTBB choirs. Easy to medium in difficulty.
