6. JESUS IS COMING SOON – Male Double Quartet or Men’s Chorus (Teens/Adults)

If you would like to sing with this group, try the different parts and see which suits you best. Please do your best to memorize it and practice so you can stay on your part. Then record yourself singing along with the “Lead” track and upload it using the “Teen Uploads” on the website.

LEAD (Sings the melody)

The Lead is actually sung an octave below what is written and played.

TENOR

The Tenor part is actually sung an octave below what is written and played.

BARITONE

BASS

Listen to the Emmanuel Quartet: different arrangement, different key

7. TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS – Ladies’ Chorus w/ Orchestra; Guys join at the end!

Choose the part that suits you best. Ladies, please choose Alto if you are comfortable with it. If you’ve sung alto before and are ready for a challenge, choose Mezzo. If you really enjoy singing the melody, you can try Soprano.

Guys, if you can hit the low notes, choose Low Bass. If you can hit the high notes, choose Tenor. If you are somewhere in between, choose High Bass.
