Follow the Drinking Gourd 总谱

在南北战争时期，奴隶们共同传唱《跟着喝水葫芦走》这首歌，以此来帮助他们逃往北方。这首歌的歌词隐藏着奴隶们如何获得自由的信息。酒葫芦代表北斗七星，为他们指明了下一步的旅程--最终通往地下铁路。这首乐曲的编排要求第一小提琴、大提琴和低音提琴尽量减少换把，而第二小提琴和中提琴则始终保持在第一位置。在这首充满活力的非裔美国民歌改编曲中，不同的节奏、弓法和发音都是其特色元素。本曲目可在 SmartMusic 中下载"

原文简介:
During the Civil War era, the song "Follow the Drinking Gourd" was shared among slaves as a means to facilitate their escape to the North. The text of the song contained hidden messages about how the slaves could find their freedom. The Drinking Gourd represented the Big Dipper, which pointed them to the next step of their journey- ultimately leading to the Underground Railroad. This arrangement requires minimal shifting for the first violin, cello and bass, while the second violin and viola remain in first position throughout. Varying rhythms, bowings and articulations are featured components in this energetic adaptation of an African-American folk song. This title is available in SmartMusic.
