(Enter here all of my usual disclaimers and apologies for my singing esp the lowest and highest parts.) You might recall that we briefly practiced this song a couple of years ago. This is a somewhat more "arranged" version. You'll find the pdf of the music as well as the practice tracks at the bottom of the web page.</div><div>It's mostly very repetitive within each part, apart from the very end, and for the soprano part (sopranos don't get to sing as much but it's more interesting.) So we should be able to learn and sing it well with short rehearsal time. The biggest challenge will be keeping up a consistent, forward moving tempo. </div><div>See you next Thursday!</div><div>Donia</div></div>
