Clever arrangements of familiar music by Henry Purcell! The selection of fun and enjoyable movements are generally short, but for the longer movements, more than 3 pages of score, the composer provides separate parts. At SAT (or S’noSA), the tessitura can be kind of high, so it’s suggested to give them a try an octave lower for some tonal variety if a Great Bass (or Contrabass) is available. Technical demands vary from movement to movement; the Soprano part has some high notes that require a gentle approach and relaxed confidence, and the composer is very clear with his articulation and note-length intent, using lots of markings that should not be overlooked.
