    Hello!
    Put this together this morning. Nothing crazy, just thought it might prove useful for those looking for a free, easy descant.

    Open to suggestions.

    I never had sopranos who could sing high notes without it sounding like their shoes were too tight. But I would be happy to play this as a free harmonization. Exciting!

    “Dying cats” is always my favorite comparison.

    @Roborgelmeister have them look down when they go up- I dont know why but it really works.

    Many don't know that they have to modify the vowel as they go higher...anything past a G is more "uh" than the word printed. And it's difficult for a soprano to find that one mouth shape configuration that makes their resonance pop.

    I have an oddly great situation in that the sopranos expect descants on feasts...AND they can pull them off. One of them writes descants for music to keep her mind sharp (during rehearsal if she's bored).
