Our choir director, Charles Brown Jr., has programmed Randall Thompson’s Alleluia for early November. I guess I need to learn to count.
A performance.
Here are some YouTube practice tracks.
This track has a female singing the TENOR line, and sometimes she makes a couple of rhythmic mistakes. So…just remember to be in the same octave as the singer – and not drop down an octave
This TENOR part doesn’t have a singer, but they show where you are in the music, and you hear the other parts softly in the background

This TENOR part has a male singing the part. It sounds a little electronic – but could be very helpful
Same as above, BASS part emphasized
BASS part just being played by itself, no singing
BASS part, no singing, but the music is highlighting where you are in the music, and you hear the other parts
ALTO part, no singing, music is highlighting where you are in the music and you hear the other parts
