Product Description
Let your choir weave a tapestry of sound with this stunning SSA arrangement of Christina Perri and David Hodges' 'A Thousand Years,' a beloved ballad forever linked to *The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn*. This exquisite transcription by Mac Huff is now available for your ensemble, offering a poignant and memorable performance piece.
Designed for intermediate choirs, this arrangement features detailed vocal parts for Soprano I, Soprano II, and Alto, alongside a supportive piano accompaniment. The inferred intermediate difficulty stems from the careful interplay of multiple vocal lines and slightly more complex chord voicings within the piano part, all set at a moderate tempo beginning 'Gently' ( = ca. 140). Arranged in the accessible keys of D Major / B Minor, the piano accompaniment beautifully supports the lyrical, flowing melodies with long phrases, utilizing simple block chords, sustained root notes, and subtle arpeggiated figures to create a delicate and intimate sound, starting at an initial 'mp' dynamic. For added convenience, chord names are thoughtfully included above the piano staff, making this arrangement highly versatile for rehearsals and varied performance settings.
Whether for a wedding ceremony, a significant anniversary celebration, a reflective recital, or as a moving highlight in your choir's next concert, 'A Thousand Years' will allow your singers to convey profound beauty and emotional depth. It's an ideal selection for ensembles looking to perform a beloved contemporary classic with grace and artistry.
