Salty Dog
Two Parts Three Parts
The text and voicing of Salty Dog is particularly suited for all-boys groups. A “salty dog” is the seaman’s “slanguage” for a “crusty ole sailor.” In the two-part voicing, Part I is written for the singing range of the MaleTreble and/or Cambiata I,(A-a, above and below middle C). Part II is written in the comfortable singing range of the early adolescent Baritone (D-d, above and below middle C). In the three-part voicing, Part I fits the Cambiata I;Part II,Cambiata II; and Part III, early adolescentBaritone.
As with so many of our works, all-boys choirs are not the only voicings for which this work is suitable. Check the two-part or the three-part variable voicing charts to see the other voicings possibilities.
