Several weeks ago I posted a request for SATB cowboy and western songs. Here
are the results, from my own library, from a search of Choralist, and from
others on the list.

Thanks,

Me a Cat
Libby Larsen- The Settling Years, Cowboy Songs (E.C. Schirmer)

Randol Alan Bass- Southwestern Suite- apparently by Plymouth Publishing, but
one lister says the company is in disarray.

called Goin to the Auction by Randall Stroop

- Ghost Riders in the Sky, a Cowboy Legend- Kirby Shaw- Hal Leonard
Norman Luboff- Hoedown, Old Dan Tucker, Colorado Trail (TTBB)- Hinshaw
Alice Parker- Buffalo Gals (not really Western, but worth checking out)


there is a nice "Home on the Range" I THINK arr by Mark Hayes....uses piano
and harmonica. I hope you'll post your compilation. great idea!

I have a set of pieces for solo voice and piano titled "Cowboy Songs". I
don't know whether you might be interested in including any solo repertoire
in your concert, but if so, I'd be happy to send you a perusal copy. Another
thought - some of the songs might actually work as a unision choral piece
(ie, men only or women only). Let me know if you'd like to see them - they
are very theatrical and some of them quite amusing.

Take care,

Karen Thomas

It probably doesn't fit your description of a western song, but if it
interests you, I have an SATB arrangement of I'VE BEEN WORKIN ON THE
RAILROAD. Kind of fun! If you'd like to have a look, I'll send you a copy
and you can use it if you'd like. It's unpublished, so you'd be welcome to
use it if you want.

Let me know!
