Hanawalt, Michael (Francis) - Auld Lang Syne (SSAA)

Bring in the new year with this lovely arrangement that uses the well-known poem written by Scottish poet Robert Burns, and a tune that predates the one commonly used today. “Auld Lang Syne” literaly translates to “old long since,” but the paraphrase “to the good old days” more directly catpures its spirit and meaning. Above all, the song speaks to the value of old friends, despite the fact that life circumstances (and people themselves) are ever changing. Duration: ca. 4:30.
