App Detail » Kumbaya: for choir

App Description

Ideal for School and Community choirs this arrangement in 4 parts is so enjoyable ; both to sing and to listen to.
This arrangement is included in the One Big Voice concert repertoire for 2017 on 18th August in Perth, Australia.

Groups have been singing this 'communal' song since the 1920s...but never like this. Each of the parts add a new dimension; not to mention the atmospheric accompaniment.

The melody is as we know it. Two harmony parts add rhythm and a third 'Descant harmony' is in a call and response style.

'Schools are going to love it'..was the immediate response of a very experienced member of the eto team on first hearing the arrangement.
If the quality of arrangement isn't enough then learning using the practice tools provided in this App add to the whole experience.

Choose a part, choose a bar or section
Repeat it and sing along until you are confident.
As you are practising balance the audio levels to best suite your needs....make your part higher to help at the beginning...lower it as you get the confidence to sing it on your own.

Practising in this way means that full choir rehearsals need less note learning and have more time for crafting the musical performance.
