Teaching Guide

Instilling confidence about singing the changing meter melody and helping the choristers to sing their own part (m. 3- to the end) provide the most challenging facets of teaching the Treble 2 part of this anthem. The Treble 1 part has a high tessitura, the melodic fragments of which provide opportunity for increasingly accurate interval singing. Make sure that each group of singers has its part well under control before putting the Treble I and 2 parts together. One way of beginning the collaboration process is to pick a particular interval for part singers to tune (each beat of m. 38).
