Featuring two Canadian folk songs: I's the B'y from Newfoundland and Going Over the Sea from Nova Scotia, this spirited setting spins the tale of a boy growing up to become a fisherman like his father. Incorporating the violin (fiddle) part enhances the rollicking, dance-like mood of the piece that is offset by a slower, reflective middle section. A rousing accelerando at the end brings the song to a boisterous, fun conclusion. Boys will especially enjoy performing this work. A Learning Resource Page is included.
