CGE143 Canta Una Cancion (Two-part with Descant)
Description
Opening with a jubilant fanfare in both piano and voices, the strong, singable melodies in this accessible original effectively deliver the important message of the text. A legato middle section provides a creative contrast to the rhythmic and fun syncopated choruses that frame it. A well-timed key change lifts the recapitulation and energetically propels the piece to its exuberant conclusion. A pronunciation guide and translation are provided for the Spanish text.
Voicing: Two-part with descant
Composer: Victor C. Johnson
