ABOUT OUR MUSIC

Our songs are in four parts, with an easily singable melody carried by the LEAD singer whose vocal range is similar to that of tenor in most mixed choirs. The TENOR harmonizes above the lead and the BASS below the lead. The BARITONE adds the 4th part, above or below the lead as needed. ? ?

Our arrangements use mostly consonant chords which produce harmonies that LOCK AND RING. We use few jazz voicings and almost no dissonance.
