Bach and Before for Strings (Four-Part Chorales
from the 16th, 17th, and 18th Centuries)—
David Newell. Four-part chorales are a great way
to improve ensemble playing. And, since each book
includes all four voices - soprano, alto, tenor, and
bass - there are a number of programming options.
In addition to this, as the voice parts are individually
rehearsed and learned, the students discover that all
voice parts of a chorale are important. When played
in four-part harmony, the chorales become naturally
expressive, because all students know all four parts
and they understand which voice should predominate
at any given time. Students love playing chorales,
because they sound so good! The chorales range in
difficulty from very easy to very sophisticated and
are suitable for year two through high school string
orchestras. This is the perfect book for helping students
master the important concepts of chorale performance.
