Music Alone Shall Live (Aber die
Musici)—arr. Andrew Parr. For decades,
the traditional German canon Aber die
Musici ("Music Alone Shall Live") has
served as an educational building block
to teach children's choirs the skill of part
singing. The melody comprises three
short phrases, offering natural entry points
to sing the song as a round. Sing it in
English, German, or a combination of both
languages, and add the optional flute for
even more beauty.
