Alfred Publishing Canticum Novum - Beck - 3pt Mixed

• Composer/Author: BECK, ANDY
• Instrumentation: 3 PT MIX ACCOMP
• Model # 47723

Composer: Andy Beck
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: 3pt Mixed with piano accompaniment

Designed for impact in performance without stress in rehearsal, this strong concert/contest opener (or closer) features an accessible Latin text that alternates with English lyrics. A bold unison, sung in sweet-spot vocal ranges, leads to an antiphonal treatment of the marcato theme. A softer section, in three-part counterpoint, provides contrast before returning to the original melody. This celebratory piece works on any program, at any time of year, and provides wonderful lessons for developing choral singers.
