Good powerful piece for small male ensemble...

Post by ogisha007 »

I'm in need of an a cappella piece for a TTBB male ensemble which I'm a part of. We're fairly young (17-19 years of age), so not really mature voices, but we're mostly settled. We lack one piece for a competition in May. The piece should be not too long (that is, not more than 4-5 minutes), powerful, strong, emotional, something along the lines of Chesnokov's Salvation Is Created. We actually thought of singing that particular piece, but with a high A for tenors and low B for basses (optional as it is), it is kind of pushing it.

Any additional questions, shoot away.

Best regards.

Oh, BTW, there are 9 of us, if that means anything to you.

I'm not able to provide suggestion. However, in the case you haven't noticed, there is a specific category at ChoralWiki for TTBB voicing, that includes more than 300 works you can consider. This is a shortcut to such a category:
