Ave Maria
This piece is recommended male choirs. Directors are often hesitant to attempt a four-part piece with early adolescent singers; yet, when four parts are available, directors are more likely to find a part that fits an individual’s voical range. This is especially applicable in groups that include students from several grade levels (i.e. grades 6, 7, & 8 or 7, 8, & 9). This is the mid-level educator’s challenge. If you haven’t attempted four-part music with your boys’ group, we encourage you to take the plunge. You will be amazed when the boys are singing parts that fit their voices.
