Minor Forty-Niner - Minor Alterations on American Folk Songs 

This clever, twisted medley features 16 of America's best-loved folk songs, transposed from major to minor keys. Can you identify them all? Centered on tune "O, My Darling Clementine," it's a test of your knowledge of American musical history! The latest in the "Minor Alterations" series by David Lovrien, recorded live at "Star Spangled Spectacular," July 4, 2022, Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas.
Minor Forty-Niner was commissioned by the Colleyville (TX) Middle School band in memory of David Zahrndt, Fine Arts Director of the Grapevine-Colleyville school district. Several tunes in the medley were chosen to retrace his career path through Kentucky, Arkansas, and Texas.
