Welcome to Alfred's North Carolina Cultural Arts LIVE page!

Alfred Music is excited to partner with NC Student Connect Conferences for their Cultural Arts LIVE Conference on December 15-16, 2020.

We invite all North Carolina singers to participate by learning “I Will Be Brave,” a new choral composed by Sally K. Albrecht (Raleigh, NC).

1. Each participant first needs to download a PDF of the music. In order to be in compliance with copyright, you may not share this PDF. Your teacher/director will let you know which voicing you need to download (SATB, 3-part mixed, or SSA). Each student may print out one copy of the music, if desired.
2. Each singer may download the MP3 full-performance recording. Please note, this is the SATB version.
3. Each singer may also download an MP3 of the SoundTrax accompaniment recording (without voices).
4. Below, you may view a video of Sally giving instructions for adding sign language to “I Will Be Brave." Teachers may wish to assign all or a small group of students to learn the signing.
5. Additional Practice Tools: Students may rehearse individual vocal lines using the free SmartMusic links below. We hope you enjoy these innovative practice, recording, and assessment tools.

SOLOS/SMALL GROUP ASSIGNMENTS:

Teachers should assign specific singers to learn the opening solo/small group (pages 2-3) and the final small group descant (measure 39 to the end).
