Seafarer Press How To Sing Like a Planet - Alexander - SATB
Additional Photos:
Composer: Elizabeth Alexander
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SATB with piano accompaniment
This musical "instruction manual" is as whimsical as the singing planet which inspired it. A genre-defying showpiece evoking both the ethereal and the "grooving", How To Sing Like a Planet offers up equal portions of wisdom, humour, humility and common sense. A prominent and colourful piano part undergirds this sparkling romp.
"Full of fun and wise advice. Profound comedy!" - Scott Lounsbury, Music Director, Suncook Valley Chorale
"The students LOVE your piece. Of course, this makes me very happy :-)" - Eugene Rogers, Artistic Director, Michigan Youth Chamber Singers
"In my constant search for repertoire a title sometimes catches my attention and I can't pass up perusing it. I am always pleased when my initial excitement bears fruit with a work that is equally captivating. How to Sing Like a Planet is full of surprises. The B section will make you smile at such heavenly bodies... It is an excellent piece of choral music, and we are happy to award it this week's Silver Platter Award." - Jack Senzig, editor of the Choralnet Series "Composition Spotlight"
"When I first saw the piece, I'm afraid I was a little too close-minded and disregarded it as strange for the sake of being strange and overly contemporary. However, after rehearsing it and listening to it for the last few weeks, I have come to realize that this is one of the most creative and exciting pieces I have ever had the pleasure of performing. The text painting and wordplay is wonderful and it has really been a joy to work on it." - Colin Vega, Tenor in 2016 New Jersey High School All-State Choir under direction of Rollo Dilworth
