Emily Crocker 2-Part Classics!
New 2-Part Recordings now available
I recently put together my website – it’s a work in progress! – and I’m happy to take this opportunity to reintroduce a few classic 2-Part titles. All of these works continue to be popular, however, I didn’t have full demo recordings, as they dated from the days when the publisher only recorded excerpts of the pieces, or the recordings were on analog master tapes that have been lost to the ages.
So, I worked with my friends at Aireborn Studios in Indiana to create these beautiful demos. All the songs are available either in print, e-print or both, through the publisher or retailer. If you are performing any of these pieces, the recordings have not been previously available so feel free to use them with your choirs and enjoy!
Adoramus Te
2-Part Choral and Piano
This joyful festival anthem in Emily Crocker's highly-regarded concert festival series is uplifting, accessible and extremely well-crafted for choirs of all ages. In this contemporary setting, the traditional Latin is combined with an English hymn text.
Blessing
2-Part Choral and Piano
This lyrical setting of an anonymous Irish blessing creates a mood of warmth and elegance through expressive lines and fresh harmonies. An ideal concert closer or benediction, it is accessible for all levels.
The Christmas Time of Year
2-Part Choral and Piano
Set in a lilting 3/4 meter, this original song features an appealing melody and easy countermelody, making this an accessible holiday selection when rehearsal time is limited!
The Fox
2-Part Choral and Piano
This famous folksong is sung in England and America and tells the tale of a clever fox who outfoxes everyone. Great fun for younger and developing choirs!
Little David, Play on Your Harp
2-Part Choral and Piano
A bright, well-crafted setting of the classic spiritual with a strong rhythmic feel. Easy countermelodies and excellent voice leading can't miss!
On Christmas Day (Sussex Carol)
2-Part Choral and piano
This beautiful setting of the well-loved “Sussex Carol” presents carefully developed musical lines for the younger choir. Opt. final descant section adds sparkle!
