Two-part songs - unaccompanied
Posted: 16 Nov 2008 09:48
I am looking for some two-part, unaccompanied, songs for our small choral ensemble. Because there are so few of us we are sometimes without an entire section (if we have our full complement we have three voices in each section - SATB). Sometimes it's the sopranos who are missing, sometimes the tenors; more rarely the basses and never the entire alto section! It doesn't happen often, but we would like to have some two-part music suitable for male and female voices for those rare occasions.
We sing mainly secular music - particularly madrigals and other early music; also lieder. But we'll try anything.
I don't have enough musical knowledge to know which would be better - SA, TB (we always have both male and female voices)?
Suggestions please.
