Knickerbocker Quartette
|
An old standard song classic, by the composer of "Old Folks at Home" and
"My Old Kentucky Home."
This entrancing serenade as sung by the Knickerbocker Quartette, has an original four-part setting.
Each voice is heard in delightful contrast with the other,
ending with a remarkably effective climax in which all four voices blend in splendid harmony.
Unaccompanied; music and words, Stephen C. Foster. |
