Greetings, singers!
I hope you find these resources helpful as you work to learn your part to upcoming anthems. If I can find online resources, I’ll attach them here, and when I can’t find any, I’ll make them myself. I’m learning how to program AI singers, so you’ll sometimes hear them, and other times, just a MIDI note. Let me know if you have any questions, and looking forward to working with you Wednesday nights!

Praise to the Lord (Distler)
(Click on the title above to download the music) Your individual parts are the first four links, sung by my trained AI singers, and the bottom is a video of humans singing it. We’ll be more expressive than them. Be careful not to take every single AI singer’s vowel as meaning that you should sing it that way, but I hope this helps you find your parts. A couple changes: In measure 36, sopranos sing the top line as marked, altos the second line (no soprano divisi), tenors take the third line in the alto register (unless that’s too high for you, in which case jump to the bass part), and basses, sing as written. The 2/4 bar at the end is more like a 4/4 with the fermata, and the song repeats back to the first page, and ends at the bottom of the first. It’s quite a journey. Enjoy!
For the Beauty of the Earth
This one is pretty straight-forward. I’ve always loved this text, and we’ll be sure to have the congregation do the hymn of the same title on the day we offer this anthem. Someone else has already made files for this, so I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. Youtube videos are available to the right for you.
