Sacred Harp Tunes, arr. Abbie Betinis
| Matthew and Michael Culloton Choral Series
voicing: SATB div. / ten. duet | catalog number: SBMP 702 | price: $2.70
accompaniment: a cappella
This piece is a real musical trip! Adding excitement to the choral rendition are two tenors who join in at the beginning as they ride high-flying above the choir. Reflecting the shape-note performance tradition, the composer next cleverly weaves solfege syllables into the fabric of the tunes; and in one section, we hear the distant sounds of a chain gang creating an underlay to the song. There’s a whole lot happening here. Singers will love this piece.
