Music for Study #3: The White Rose

The White Rose is an old folk song from Cornwall. Here is a bit of history of it. It should not be confused with the "white rose" Nazi resistance movement of WW2.

During the events of 9/11, Cornish-born Rick Rescorla saved dozens of lives and was one of the true heroes of the day. He is buried in Cornwall. At his memorial, the White Rose was sung.

I have arranged the song for SATB and piano. Most of the parts divide. You should learn all the divisions of your part. Although there are few YouTube videos of the song, there is a recording on iTunes by a Cornish folk singer named Sue White.

Here are the files you need:
