Song 5: - You Raise me up - Graham & Lovland - Arr. Roger Emerson
Introduction:
You have sung this one before so this should only need some revision. There is a piano introduction and you have to repeat the first two and a half pages. There is a lot of variety in the dynamics and if these are performed well then the sung will be a success. Be careful with the rhythms which sometimes quite difficult.Pages 3 & 4
After a piano introduction (10 bars) the sops and altos sing the melody (top line of words). Then the men sing the tune. The men continue singing the melody and the ladies join in. This is followed by everyone singing in harmony. At bar 19 the chorus in harmony and much louder.

At bar 37 the chorus is repeated mainly in harmony.
