THE LONDON SANGERSTEVNE 2018
Friday 18 May - Sunday 20 May Across London

FESTIVAL PIECES
These are the Festival Pieces to be sung at the end of the five concerts during the main festival in the St Sepulchre's Church on  19 May.
Of course, they may also be sung in any of the Fringe concerts if any choir wishes to use them.

This year, there are just two pieces, which will be sung at the end of each concert.
Some choirs have difficulties finding time in their rehearsal schedules to practise the Festival Songs.
To reduce this burden, these arrangements are simple and short. Also, they are of such a nature that they
work well if many people just sing the melody. So, if you have time, please learn the SATB parts.
If, however, you are short of time, just get to grips with the melody.

IT WOULD BE A FINE END TO EACH CONCERT
IF ALL SINGERS COULD/WOULD TAKE PART IN THESE SONGS.

 The PDF includes both SATB and unison versions of both songs.

The PDF links lead to a printable copy of the music.

The other links are rehearsal tracks. The General links give an overall impression of each piece.
The Voice Specific links have the named vocal part emphasised.
