Lift
Thine Eyes
(Click the title to

Lift Thine Eyes appears as a chorus
for women
written in the key of D major in
Mendelssohn's well-known Oratorio, Elijah. In this original setting it has
a comfortable singing tessitura for all three parts allowing it to be easily
adapted for a mid-level early adolescent mixed choir when sung in the key of D,
which herewith is the case. Part III, written in the bass clef, is made
even more comfortable for singing by young adolescent baritones whose
voices are in the second phase of mutation since there are optional notes
available to be sung when the part moves into the upper regions of their voices.
Plus, in some places Part III is reinforced by Part II which is sung by
cambiatas, boys in the first phase of change.
This is a very easy master chorus and one
worthwhile for young singers who are inexperienced at attempting great master
choruses.
