Other repertoire details & musical resources
Notes
Kanados himnas (O Canada)
Lyrics are as written in the sheet music for measures 5-6 "in all of us command". (The vocal learning part was recorded in 2014 "in all thy sons command", and the lyrics were officially changed to the gender-neutral line in 2018.)
Lietuvos himnas (Tautiška giesmė)
In the key of G as written in sheet music. (Not Ab as in vocal learning part recording.)
Baltas paukštis
The alto notes for Children's choirs differ slightly from alto notes for Adult choirs, so that they are more fitting for two-part singing. Children's choirs should learn according to the notes in the children's repertoire book. A separate vocal part learning recording for altos of Children's choirs is in process.
Lietuviais esame mes gimę
In the key of C as written in sheet music. (Not Db as in vocal learning part recording.)
Ar žinai tu, klajūne, keleivi
Adult choirs are invited to sing this song and to help support the youth choirs.
Skaičiuotės
In the key of A, as in the recording. This is a half tone lower than the printed sheet music in the repertoire books, which are in Bb. Digital sheet music files will be updated shortly to reflect this change.
Greitakalbės
In the key of Eb minor, as in the recording. This is one tone lower than the printed sheet music in the repertoire books, which are in Fm. Digital sheet music files will be updated shortly to reflect this change.
