Choral Choir,Choral (SAB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1399666 Composed by Elvina M. Hall/John T' Grape. Arranged by Richard K. Austin. 19th Century,A Cappella,Christian,Sacred. 7 pages. Richard K. Austin #982941. Published by Richard K. Austin (A0.1399666). In order to expose my small church choir to the joys of a cappella singing, I wrote this SAB arrangement with parts that are very singable and easy to learn. The first verse is in octaves/unison to allow the performers to get a confident start before breaking into three parts in the refrain. Verse two features the baritones carrying the melody, accompanied by gentle harmony in the other two parts. The sopranos have the tune in the third verse, while the altos and baritones echo them with an underlying harmonized canon. The final verse has a simple soprano descant over the melody in the lower voices. After a strong build in the final refrain, the piece ends gently. This arrangement is a reachable challenge for a small a cappella choir.
