Four Erie Canal Songs

String Quartet
Approx. 12 minutes
2010

Inspired by traditional canalier folk songs from the heyday of the Erie Canal in upstate New York. I grew up cycling along the Erie Canal towpaths, and it’s always nice to think back to those times.

Movements:

1) I’ve got a mule…
2) Song of the Canal
3) Scherzo: Afloat/The Raging Canal
4) Low Bridge

If the instrumentation or voice type of this work isn’t quite what you are looking for, let’s discuss the creation of a new version that will meet your needs. You may be surprised at how easy this is to do. Contact me at jason@jasonbarabba.com.
