This arrangement, featuring a solo tenor and SSAATB choir, reharmonizes the traditional folk song with a contemporary twist. This arrangement would work well for any a cappella high school, college, or community choir looking for modern arrangements of traditional folk songs.
The Skye Boat Song is a Scottish folk song that tells the story of how Prince Charlie escaped from a defeat in battle by disguising himself as a serving maid and sailing away on a boat. The lyrics describe the aftermath of his defeat in battle and refer to the Claymore, which is
a Scottish sword, and Culloden's Field, the battlefield where Prince Charlie's defeat occurred in 1746.
