This tune, called �Choucoune,� written with French and Caribbean fragments, was originally set to a poem in 1893 and became a popular slow meringue dance in Haiti. It�s best known by its 20th-century English lyrics that became a hit in 1961. The song is arranged for two standards, baritone (tuned ADA) and bass, and is best suited for the upper intermediate to advanced player with all the syncopated rhythms. Participants will receive a conductor�s score in addition to individual parts and an audio reference track.
