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.”
