How many singers are singing or studying this score? Our business relies on the purchase of one original score per voicing and a licensed copy for each singer—as well as the purchase of additional licenses in the future when more copies are made. (For example: For a 30-voice choir, you would buy a license to make 30 copies.) You may also discover from Dalglish recordings that we encourage creative and fresh performance ideas. Go for it!

French-Canadian Lilting Piece
Dedicated to The Indianapolis Children’s Choir, Henry H. Leck, Founder and Music Director
A reel is a fast-moving repetitive dance tune in duple meter found in most western music folk traditions but particularly prevalent in Celtic music. “Reel a’ Bouche” is a French-Canadian lilting or mouth music piece performed for dances sometimes by the instrumentalist as a vocal “break” or interlude or by the dancers themselves improvising syllables in imitation of an absent fiddler or accordion player. The singing is often accompanied by a heel toe-clogging step that is frequently done from a sitting position. There is often a call and response section in French-Canadian songs.
