LEVEL 3

Ready for Easy SATB!

The biggest challenge with performing SATB literature with young voices is that the young men often gravitate to the melody and away from their assigned part. Sight Singing will help solve this problem as they can “see” their part. Also, just singing and listening more will help. If you’ve made it this far successfully...they ARE ready to divide. My SAT(B) titles were designed to be a “first time” experience for divisi of tenors and basses. The concept is that they stay together on a moderate baritone part until the chorus where they divide. The bass part is often doubled in the piano and the tenor does not exceed “D” in range. Here are the titles:

Elijah Rock – SAT(B) – Emerson - Add to Cart
Shoshone Love Song – SAT(B) – Emerson - Add to Cart
Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel – SAT(B) – Emerson - Add to Cart
Let Me Ride (Swing Down Chariot) – SAT(B) – Emerson - Add to Cart
Wade In The Water – SATB – Emerson - Add to Cart
Scarborough Fair – SAT(B) – Emerson - Add to Cart
Witness – SAT(B) – Emerson - Add to Cart
The Old Mill – SAB – Kenneth Riggs - Choristers Guild Publishing
The Cuckoo – SAB – Robert Hugh - Hal Leonard Publishing

REAL SAB – 8th and 9th grade changed voices

I’ve developed a series of arrangements for the older male voice that has not had much experience but has changed to a lower register. The feature is that the baritones have melody throughout that is embellished by Sopranos and Altos. Unique but it works!

Red River Valley – SAB - Emerson - Add to Cart
Nine Hundred Miles – SAB – Emerson - Add to Cart
Good News! – SAB – Emerson - Add to Cart
Streets of Laredo – SAB - Emerson - Add to Cart
Hold Me Rock Me – SAB - Tate - Add to Cart

These chorals may be heard and seen at www.halleonard.com
