Alto Part


Question Posted Sunday October 18 2009, 5:25 pm

In one month, I must memorize the alto parts of these four songs I'm singing and I don't know how to play an istrument.
1. "Amavolovolo"- the SATB version arranged by Rudolph de Beer. Hal Leonard, its from the Henry Leck Choral series
2. "Placido E Il Mar"-SATB, Roger Wagner choral series, Alfred Publishing Company
3. "Adiemus" SATB, by Karl Jenkins, Boosey and Hawkes music publishers
4. "If Music Be The Food of Love" SATB, David C. Dickatu, Colla Voice music incorporated, from the Jo-Michael Scheibe Choral Series
If anybody can find just the alto parts of any or all of these songs played or sung that would be great for helping me teach myself. Even if you find the soprano and alto part it helps. I can't even find a recording of the versions of adiemus or placido e il mar sofar so just hearing the songs would be great for those two. Anything helps, thank you.

As an old choral geek, the best solution I can give you is to find someone who can play the piano and make recordings of the alto parts Even a low-fi recording done with a phone cam or mp3 player will help.

I used to sing along with recordings of the whole piece (I can barely read music, but I can follow a line if I hear it sung) and that does help some. (It's how I taught myself the baritone arias from "The Messiah".) Having a recording of just your part is ideal.

GOod luck, and I hope this helps.
