MIDDLE SCHOOL TENOR BASS - NEW FOR FALL, 2022

Hello to my friends choosing music for your middle school tenor bass choirs! I have a few concert pieces for you to start the year with and some holiday music that will be fun and crowd pleasing, but that also will help you move them forward to contest season after the first of the year:

CEDAR SWAMP - TB and piano

Younger Tenor-Bass choirs will rock out to this bright folk-flavored knee-slapper that celebrates favorite country pastimes of camping, fishing, and delicious food! They will love the body percussion feature and the optional fiddle obbligato adds to the “way down low in Cedar Swamp” atmosphere. If you don't have a fiddle player handy, use the audio accompaniment which is available for download.

THE WAYWARD WIND - TB and piano


This one is digital only, but your guys will love this classic song from the 1950s that expresses the irresistible longing for the open road. The song retains a fresh contemporary sound even today. Ideal for smaller and developing Tenor Bass choirs. Great ranges and easy to learn.

RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW - TB and piano


This spiritual is easily learned and a favorite the world over. This arrangement uses a lowered 7th which gives the piece a unique blues feel ideal for TB choirs.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS - TB and piano


The arrangement captures the fun and excitement of the winter holidays with a jazzy treatment. It's easily learned with extremely accessible part-writing and lends itself to the fun of choreography.

Thanks to the editors, producers, musicians and others who have brought these pieces into physical and digital form!  All print, digital and audio are now available. For these and other titles, visit  Emily Crocker Music J'ai vu le loup This fast-paced French folk song dates back to the medieval era. Many versions of the song exist, and they all feature animals imitating humans by dancing, laughing, and singing.
