CoverTwo German Chorales [level: Easy]
arr. Rebecca te Velde | Robert J. Ward Choral Series
voicing: unison or 2 part | catalog number: SBMP 459 | price: $2.15
accompaniment: keyboard

Robert Ward: “When I think of music for young voices, I think of essentially conjunct melodic movement, limited vocal range, diatonic harmonic and melodic structure, and a supportive yet independent accompaniment. For this octavo, composer Rebecca te Velde has taken two very singable 16th century German chorales and breathed into them a fresh and vibrant keyboard accompaniment. These two chorales are perfect vehicles for teaching beautiful tone, intense legato singing, and accurate intonation. I have used them with the Stillwater Boys Choir and give them my highest recommendation.”
