2023-2024 Large School All-State Choir
Divisi notes in a voice part are sung together or “stacked” when they are considered to be easy to hear. If a part is hard to hear, a “tag” is used instead of a stack. When divisi is sung in its entirety, the first voice part always precedes the second. For example, the first soprano will always be on the recording before the second soprano. Unless otherwise noted, parts are sung completely through.
The French, Italian, Sesotho and German words appear before the appropriate songs.
