Sassafrass Songbook: collected sheet music (bound)

from Sassafrass

Sheet Music + Digital Album

A bound book containing all of Ada Palmer's non-Viking-themed music composed through 2014. (The Viking music appears in a separate collection)

Physical songbook purchase also comes with an instant digital download of the PDF.

This 250 page bound songbook contains lyrics sheets and sheet music for 21 songs. Lyrics sheets are optimized for easy reading and minimal page turns, and ten of them include guitar chords to make it easy to perform the songs for voice and guitar. Sheet music contains all harmonies, and seven pieces have both choral and solo vocal arrangements.

The songbook is spiral bound to make it easy to set open on a music stand. It has a color front cover and a blank back cover, both protected by extra sheets of durable clear vinyl. Songbooks need to stand up to heavy use, so we tested these covers by leaving a copy in a frequently-used backpack for three weeks, and the vinyl cover endured.

Songs included:
1) Daughter of Apocalypse
2) Daughter of Apocalypse (solo arrangement)
3) Fall
4) A Proper Mermaid Tail
5) Somebody Will (duet with guitar chords and alternate harmonies)
6) Somebody Will (solo arrangement)
7) Threadbare Dragon
8) Toys for Big Kids
