Thread Name: Good A Capella Chorus Songs
Subject: Good A Capella Chorus Songs
I'm looking for a few good songs, ones that have the kind of chorus good singers can pick up and run with. Not too slow, not too repetitious, ones everyone can get into yet not the ones we've sung a thousand times already like Wild Mountain Thyme or Sportsmen Arouse.
Here's a couple I've been using recently to give you an idea of what I want: When We Go Rolling Home, and (Hear the Fond Tale of) The Sweet Nightingale. They can be stories, drinking songs, plotless wonders, militant, rowdy bawdy, sad, minor, you name it, just so they pull people in and are entertaining.
Since we're all different, just tell me what works for you.
Blessings,
Barbara
