Men's Choir


Terry Walker, Men’s Choir

Nine Hundred Miles

This piece is immediately emotionally expressive. Also, it is melodically interesting without being difficult or detached. It also provides an opportunity to the division of the sixteenth note at a slow tempo.

My God Is A Rock
TTB

This selection will keep students engaged because of tempo and rhythmic quality. There are also opportunities for solos. Independent singing and counterpoint may be introduced in this piece. Lastly, it provides an opportunity to learn sol fege in a minor tonality.

Ubi Caritas
TTBB
Ola Gjeilo
Walton Music Publishing
This piece is a challenge for men’s choir, but the results are worth the challenge. This piece provides the opportunity to teach traditional latin text. Listening across the section and the entire choir is paramount to perform this piece successfully.
