Victor C Johnson
This three movement piece based on Spanish texts by the composer. The accompaniment plays a pivotal role in providing a rich musical experience for fairly simple vocal lines. Multi-language text painting is easily taught in these short pieces. There is a definite split in ranges between part one and part two, but singers can easily switch parts between pieces so everyone is using their head voice. There is plenty of dynamic and articulation contrast between the movements that can be taught as well. The text is simple, but easy to comprehend and sounds very cool in Spanish. This piece would work well for an early middle school or even elementary school ensemble.
