Notes to the choir leader
- Occasionally, broken voices [BV] are stipulated. This is an option.
Similarly, there may be other moments where you may wish broken
voices to sing alone - feel free to do so!
- You may also wish to sub-divide groups or use smaller ensembles
- The Wandering Travelling Flea (no3), for example, would provide
ample opportunity for this.
