This arrangement of the Ballad of Green Broom is provided here in a version for SSA (or SMezA) women's voices (C major),
(2 versions for TBarB men's voices (B major and D major) are also available on musicaneo).
I have suggested "Choral", but it can also work just with soloists as in this recording by Matthew Curtis
of www.choraltracks.com
The original folk song is an anonymous old traditional tune with anonymous words.
I have also arranged it for voice and guitar (available on musicaneo) and for saxophone quartet and for clarinet quartet (available as part of my "Folksong Wedding" quartets at Musik Fabrik)
