| Matthew and Michael Culloton Choral Series
voicing: SATB div. / ten. duet | catalog number: SBMP 702 | price: $2.70

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.
