The Birch Tree

This arrangement of the Russian folk song features unison and two-part canon singing – perfect for young choirs. With its charming piano accompaniment and optional flute part (easily played by a student flautist), this piece is great for the development of soft singing in the treble range. The “lu-li” refrain evokes the sound of the wind through the trees – the piece finishes with the singers swaying like the trees in the forest as they make whooshing wind noises – an effective and dramatic ending to this poignant arrangement.

"My little Junior Choir came third in the folk singing unison or parts (Yr 6 and under) at the eisteddfod today. "Great repertoire choice" was one of the comments. These guys are Yr 2, 3 and 4 and they were up against mostly Yr 5 and 6 groups. Very proud of them and we loved your arrangement of "The Birch Tree". Thank you!" timuser
