Community of Unity – SA Version
for treble choir and piano
“Community of Unity” is an exciting and uplifting piece written specifically for civic and municipal events. Beginning with a lyrical, unison verse, the soundscape opens up to a chorus in 2 part harmony. A driving, rhythmic piano accompaniment propels the piece throughout. There is a 4 measure a cappella section near the end, and two sections that call on the choir to clap in an accented way. With a rousing, hopeful message, “Community of Unity” fills the need for a patriotic addition to your ensemble’s program.
Also available from Swirly Music in a 3-part SSA version.
