Singers of all ages love to perform partner songs, and this series overflows with traditional melodies arranged in partner song fashion. Partner songs are ideal for developing independent 2-part singing. First one melody is sung, then the second, and finally they partner, creating beautiful harmony! It's that easy and a lot of fun! This songbook is an indispensable resource for both adult and children's or youth choirs. It provides six quickly-prepared 2-part anthems that can be performed by any combination of treble or mixed voices. As an added bonus, money-saving reproducible choir song sheets are also included - no need to buy additional copies! This songbook also includes reproducible narration sheets. Each narration may be presented by from one to four speakers. And finally, a performance/accompaniment CD is also included in this set. This outstanding collection features ten spirituals, including both best-loved spirituals and lesser known, wonderful gems that have special links to the history of African-American song. The narratives provide insight into both the songs and African-American history. Perform these partner songs individually throughout the year, or together as a special program for African-American history month or Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
