Thursday, April 17, 2014 at 12:52PM 4/17/14 - Added "This Little Light of Mine"
Daniel brought this James Hill ensemble arrangement of "This Little Light of Mine" to practice on Tuesday but we didn't have tabs for it. I've tabbed out the 5 ukulele parts, which includes the chords. The pdf includes all 5 parts on 2 pages which is nice so that we can switch parts without having to switch out pages. I've included a midi of the 5 parts together.
For the chords, the end of the phrases are simple slides up or down by one fret. The chord names aren't important so much as the finger slides.
Some notes regarding this tune from http://www.ukuleleyes.com/issues/vol9/no1/arrangement.htm :
-
This arrangement can be played by ensembles of many shapes and sizes. The minimum number of players is five (one to a part, one strummer). The maximum number? That’s up to you!
-
This arrangement does not require a low fourth string. In other words, it is 100% compatible with both low- and high-4th string tunings.
- Measures 1–16 can be repeated as many times as necessary (without Uke I) as background figures (i.e. accompaniment) for improvised solos. Instead of picking the melody, have Uke I players strum the chords.
And James Hill's version of the song (definitely more exciting than the midi version):
