Saints Bound for Heaven
Three-Part Four-Part
This energetic piece comes from the Sacred Harp tradition. As with many works of this genre, it uses a pentatonic scale. Conceived in a contrapual texture, every part is melodic in nature.
HIghly accessible to the beginning part-singer, the arrangement has an optional Part IV, allowing it to be sung in three-part (SSC, SAC, or SSA) or four-part (SSCB or SSAB).
This work will also fit an adult church choir with more women than men. Assign the women to Parts I, II, & III (SSA) and combine the men on Part IV.
The three-part and four-part variable voicing charts indicate how to perform the piece with different age groups.
