Description

Written for the University Chorus of the University of Montevallo (Montevallo, Alabama) in 2000. This group was in its inaugural year, under the direction of Dr. Carol Krueger. There was a small but vocal men's section, and a much larger cohort of women. There's a good deal of 2-part writing (men versus women; 2-part women; AB vs SA) as well as some traditional 4-part writing. The set is intended to be somewhat light-hearted, in keeping with the text.
