Song 5: Can't help
falling in Love arranged by Roger Emerson
Information:
This song is at a moderate pace and has a fair amount of variety in
volume. It should be very smooth. It is divided into 4 main parts. It was
originally sung by Elvis Presley.
1st Section Pages 2 and 3. After a short piano
introduction all parts sing in unison fairly quietly until the end of the 2nd
line. It is then in 2 part harmony to the end of bar 1 on page 3 still fairly
quiet. The Sops Altos and Tenors then sing medium loud in harmony to bar 14.
From the end of bar 14 it is again in 4 part harmony to the end of this section
at the bottom of page 3.

part harmony. At bar 24 we again sing in unison to bar 27. From there it is in
harmony to bar 36.

bar 36 page 5 and ends on page 6 just before bar 42. It begins loud and is in 4

I can't find a choir singing this song so I have put a version sung by Elvis.
