Da Pacem Domine Melchior Franck, arranged by Lon Beery
TTB, accompanied or a cappella
Lon Beery has outdone himself in this arrangement of a well-known early Baroque tune by Melchior Frank. Beery draws on his knowledge of the male adolescent voice, as reflected in the contained range of a fifth, in this simplistic yet wonderful Latin text setting. Depending on the needs of the ensemble, a flowing, supportive, optional piano accompaniment is available.
Based on the solo of the same name found in the BriLee vocal collection Tales of Land and Sea (BLB007), this highly energetic piece will be a favorite with developing tenor-bass choirs everywhere. Written with contained ranges and the adolescent changing voice in mind, boys will sing with confidence in rehearsal and performance.
