The House of the Rising Sun
A fresh new take on an old classic, this ballad reinvents the standard with a completely new melody and a bluesy, brass-filled, "Earth Wind & Fire" sound. It features an alto soloist for the first verse and a layered choral crescendo 'sunrise' to finish off the piece. Unique and memorable!

There is a house down in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor soul And me, I know I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man And I followed him all the way to New Orleans Oh mother tell your children Not to do what I have done Oh, I spent my life in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun I'm goin' back to New Orleans My race is almost run, oh yeah Yes, I'm goin' back home to spend the rest of my life Beneath the Rising Sun
