    Thoughtful Accompaniment and Voice-Leading

    This 2-part choral arrangement of 'A Place in the Choir' offers excellent support for young voices. The G Major accompaniment creates a charming and supportive texture, carefully complementing the vocal lines rather than merely doubling. The clear voice-leading and appropriate ranges make it an effective piece for coaching developing singers and a pleasure for collaborative pianists to perform.

    So Much Fun to Sing!

    I absolutely loved singing 'A Place in the Choir' by Bill Staines! John Leavitt's arrangement is so happy and really captures the song's spirit. Being in G Major and fairly easy, I found it very achievable for a fun weekend sing-through. The animal sounds are a charming bonus that made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for pure enjoyment!

    Place in the choir

    Actually, I was disappointed in it. It only have two verses and we didn't like the part with all sounds. Hard for kids. It at least needs to include all the verses we hear groups sing.

    Excellent arrangement

    Loved this song - easy enough to play, yet has lots of musical interest. I bought this for my church children's choir and know they will love it! Saw a suggestion to use kazoos during it - that would be Very cool.
