Bloom
Arranger’s notes: This piece of music was arranged especially for Whale Song, a street performance held on Newcastle Beach on the 28th of September 2024. For the purpose of making a big sound and allowing ease of participation by non-singers from the community, I have arranged the voices a little differently from normal SATB ranges.
The melody in the verse is sung by the alto part, but this will be in range of many tenors, and may be more comfortable. The tenor part is more like a baritone. The melody is sung by the sopranos in the bridge, and it should be reinforced by those in the altos who find it more enjoyable. Sopranos begin singing with the altos and split in the middle of the first verse.
