Adoramus Te—Andy Beck. Just two short Latin
phrases frame this excellent concert or festival
selection for developing choirs. Independent
melodies for each part are presented and then
layered to create simple polyphonic harmonies,
while a brief B section includes some homophonic
choral harmonies. A perfect piece to teach part
independence, pure vowels and lyrical singing!
