This arrangement came to me over a number of weeks in a very organic way that began with the ostinato piano figure that prevails throughout the piece. I began playing it unattached to any tune and I just liked the way the line descended in the left hand and how I had to find voicings in the right hand that made harmonic sense like a puzzle. As I was playing around with this puzzle, thoughts of my father were swirling around in my head I was at the end of a 4 year period of separation from my parents owing to the fact that Im a Canadian expat living in the US and the borders were closed for a long time because of Covid, and then I had work visa issues and my parents were getting older before my eyes. They were also losing friends to cancer and other ailments and my dad, in particular, had experienced the loss of many close family members and friends during our separation and it was taking a toll.

This modern arrangement of a Dolly Parton classic for Vocal Jazz ensemble will tug at the heart-strings while at the same time challenging your singers with some tight harmonies, a cool, melodic soli section in the middle, and a lovely solo to feature a smoky alto this holiday season. This tune works well with piano OR with rhythm section (brushes on drums and electric or upright bass) and I've performed this with as few as 5 singers.

An exciting opener or closer for a medium - to - advance vocal jazz ensemble. An open solo section gives ample opportunity for young improvisers to solo over these fun changes followed by an a capella soli section.
