[Sound recording] So-Long
Description
Recording of the song titled 'So-Long', created as part of the Music and the First World War project. Lyrics written by John Barr with music composed by May Summerbelle. Produced by Chris Latham, with Christina Wilson as vocalist and Alan Hicks on piano. This recording was made at Flat Rock Studios, Sydney, on 19 December 2018. These works were performed in the spirit of the time with some changes made for the modern ear.
Chris Latham, producer of this recording, notes: 'This song is unusual due to its wide intervals between notes. Singing a major 7th interval is unusual. Don't think it is designed for a professional but it is more athletic than most popular songs. It is easy to understand why it was popular and it is a good song.'
