First
Antiphon, "Bless the Lord"
Common Chant
Arranged by Archpriest George
Johnson
This setting is designed to
give more flexibility to small choirs with variable voice
parts. For a full choir, sopranos sing the melody,
tenors sing the parallel part, and altos sing the filler.
Basses should always sing the bass. The other 3 voice
parts can be given to any singers in either octave to
accommodate the abilities of the choir. Keep in mind
that the music will sound better without large gaps between
the parts (eg. melody and parallel part as written with filler
an octave lower) and that if voice parts need to be removed,
the filler will be missed the least, and the melody,
obviously, the most.
All of the settings with this
arrangement are meant to be used together.
