Joshua Shank Saro for SSAA voices (with solos) and violin (or cello) 2014, ca. 6’ “Pretty Saro” was first an English folk song which is thought to have originated in the 1700s. It disappeared from performance but was eventually “rediscovered” in the Appalachian Mountains where it had immigrated and been preserved through the oral traditions of the local singers. Its lyrics had been changed but the subject had stayed the same: a person who is mostly content with where they are, but would still rather be with the far, far away Saro. What I always think of when I hear this tune is the experience of a person immigrating to the United States and what it must have been like for them to leave someone they loved behind potentially thousand of miles away. We all have a Saro somewhere in our lives and, from immigrants processing through Ellis Island in 1905 to a Hispanic boy in 2014 wearing a t-shirt that says “Don't Deport My Mom,” it's clear that sometimes things still don't go the way we want them to. In this moment, our lives are defined by one heartbreaking event: saying goodbye.

J. S.

The original version of this work was scored with violin accompaniment. The composer later made an adaptation for cello. Both parts are provided.

FOR PERUSAL ONLY

Saro

I came to this country, eighteen and forty-nine I thought myself lucky for to be alive. I looked all around me, no one I could see that could compare to my pretty Saree.

If I were a turtle dove, had wings and could fly far away to my Saro’s lodging, I’d fly a straight line. I’d lay in her arms for all of the night And watch through the windows for the dawn’s first light.

But her parents they won’t have me, as I understand, they want some freeholder, and I have no land. O Saro, pretty Saro, am I on your mind? Your parents they told me to leave you behind.

I wish I was a poet, could write in fine hand. I’d write my love a letter, one she’d lone understand. I’d send it by the water, where the islands overflow, And dream of pretty Saro wherever I go.

’Tis not this long journey that grieves me for to go. ’Nor the country that I’m leavin’, nor the debts I owe. There’s one thing that grieves me, and bears on my mind. That’s leavin’ my darlin’ pretty Saro behind.

About the Composer

Joshua Shank’s music has been called “jubilant…ethereal” (Santa Barbara News-Press) and “evocative and atmospheric…distilling a sustained mood most impressively” (Gramophone). He has been commissioned by ensembles such as the Young New Yorkers’ Chorus, the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, the American Choral Directors Association, The Esoterics, the Minnesota All-State Choir, and Lorelei Ensemble. From 2004-2014, he served as Composer-In-Residence for the Minneapolis-based professional choir The Singers – Minnesota Choral Artists. During that time, he collaborated annually to expand and invigorate the repertoire for professional-caliber ensembles through innovative programming as well as new works written specifically for the ensemble. In 2002, he became the youngest recipient ever of the Raymond W. Brock Composition Award by the American Choral Directors Association. The winning piece, Musica animam tangens, was premiered in Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center and has since been performed and recorded from Los Angeles to South Africa. His music was recently featured in the PBS documentary about the extensive choral tradition in the upper Midwest, Never Stop Singing, and his published works have sold over 100,000 copies worldwide.
