The classic American Folk Song, Big Rock Candy Mountain, gets a fresh new treatment in this rock style arrangement by John O’Reilly. Simple but effective percussion patterns keep the rock feel going throughout and a 'question and answer' section between the percussion and winds adds further interest. The original song describes a fantasy world where 'hens lay soft boiled eggs' and there are 'peppermint trees' in the Big Rock Candy Mountain. (2:15) Correlates with Book 1, Page 25
