Autumn Sea

Autumn Sea was composed for a middle school choir. It has optional harmony parts, repeating patterns and elements of canon, although it can be sung as a single line song with piano accompaniment – it is versatile!

 

I personally have performed it with several primary school choirs who sang most in unison but were able to add some repeating patterns in the chorus. (I also incorportated into a literacy lesson with some Year 6s who were studying kennings, and made up new ones for the repeating patterns.)

 

I know of a school choir which is currently learning it and have managed to so far have five parts happening at once(year 7 and 8 girls). I also know of a mixed adult choir who have been learning the song with the low voices taking the melody and the high voices taking the repeating patterns and canons.

Hope you enjoy the song
