Oh, Sing

A joyful, funky piece celebrating singing! Inspired by William Byrd's treatise, Reasons to Sing, this piece has an easier, repeated chorus part that could be for junior/teenage or community voices, with moderately advanced main parts (S/A/T/Bar./B). The piece could easily also be for SATB with divisi. It has body percussion that can be for all, or just the chorus part.
