Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus (STB) – Deadline Fri 12/17 – EXTENDED
This arrangement is from the Sacred Harp, an early American shape-note singing tradition. The harmony is rough, and the melody is in the middle voice (tenor). It should be strongly rhythmic and enthusiastic–not beautiful and note-perfect. The videos show the words and music. Feel free to record the melody in the normal soprano octave, as well as the tenor if you can reach it.
- Sample video – same tune, different words, just to give you the feeling of it; the first time through, they’re singing it in sol-feg (do-re-mi, etc.)
- Top voice
- Middle voice (melody)
- Low voice
