(click the title to view and hear online)
This rousing two-part setting of Irvin
Berlin's Alexander's Ragtime Band is excellent for an all-boy's group
although it may be sung as a two-part mixed piece. When sung by
all-boys, Part I is
appropriate for Boy Trebles and/or Cambiatas (boys in the first
phase of change) because it has a comfortable singing tessitura of A-A around
middle C) Part II is written in the bass clef and is limited to the
comfortable singing area of changing voice Baritones (the second phase of
change) of D-D (around middle C).
Andy Gaus has captured the essence of the
piece with the singers miming brass instruments and the accompaniment of a
ragtime piano part with kazoo. Your students will love it because of it's
novelty and it won't take long for Berlin's music to capture their hearts.
See the
two-part
variable voicing chart for the options one has in voicing.
