Original

How To Sing Like a Planet composed by Elizabeth Alexander. For Young Men's Chorus. TTB choir and piano. Moderately Advanced. Octavo. Text language. English. Duration 4 minutes. Published by Seafarer Press. SF.SEA-105-00. With Text language. English. This musical "instruction manual" is as whimsical and varied as the singing planet which inspired it. This genre-defying showpiece evokes both the "ethereal" and the "grooving", offering pearls of humor, humility and common sense. A prominent piano part undergirds this colorful romp, requiring a sensitive and solid accompanist. Commissioned by Minnesota Chapter of American Choral Directors Association. ACDA. Commissioned for Minnesota Middle School State Honors Choir. Eugene Rogers, conductor. St. Peter, MN. Featured in. Star of the North. MN-ACDA magazine. article, "Three World Premieres". Bryan Blessing, 2012. Composer's Note. Given a "no-strings attached" commission, 60 talented middle school boys, a solid accompanist, and one heck of a dynamic conductor, what's a composer to do. Well, after she does a little happy dance, she thinks outside the box. Inspired by Mark Morford's electric description of the music that the earth makes just by being itself, I wrote and set to music a set of instructions for those of us who might wish our planets's approach, as it hums and thrums along. A showpiece for an above-average middle school boys choir, with both changed and unchanged voices.
