Description
for unison upper voices (with optional parts), brass quintet, and optional percussion A Sporting Chance is a fun and lively choral work on the theme of sport, games, and exercise. Each of the seven movements celebrates a different sport - you'll find running, soccer, weightlifting, and more - and words by the composer provide an entertaining narrative of each event. Look out for exciting choral effects, such as panting, rapping, and grunting, as well as active audience participation and even a slow-motion race from the trumpet players. Scored for unison upper voices with optional extra parts, this crowd-pleaser will have both choir and audience cheering for their home team and willing the athlete to 'run for gold'! Scores and instrumental parts are available on hire/rental. The lyrics are available separately to print or project.
