I realize that the piece is Allegro, but I felt that tempo too fast for learning purposes. The files are played at quarter-note = 80. I then gave you a TUTTI and ACCOMP file at a faster tempo of 100. I do not know how fast Dr. Thomas will take this piece.
I found what I believe was a typo in alto part (page 12, first measure). I have corrected the first note ‘G’ to an ‘A’ on the rehearsal files.
For the files – the Soprano line is played by a flute; Alto by a clarinet; Tenor by a trombone; and Bass by a cello. I have found these timbres to work best for “standing out” amongst the others and have a pleasant enough tone to imitate.
I have included my Sibelius (5) file for you to adapt to your kids’ needs should you find the need. If you do not use Sibelius and need something different, please let me know and I can try to send you what you need.Deb Monsen

As you will hear – the African Sanctus were files I purchased on-line …. Sorry, I can’t offer to change that one … but if enough of you need me to do the “Hosanna chunk” at a slower tempo, I will.
The “lady on the recording” announces, “B” at measure 27 (which is where ‘B’ is on the original printing of Fanshawe’s work). In the/our “Master Series Selections” sent by Georgia, ‘B’ actually comes 8 measures later.
One hint when learning this piece is to double check the “pick-up notes” – David sometimes used an eighth-note and next a sixteenth …. His hand-manuscript is lovely, but with so much ink it is easy to miss the nuance of one little flag.Deb Monsen
