C. Elaborate

 Here are some basic choir arrangements used even by some of the
most well-known, and well-celebrated choral groups not only locally, but

D. Evaluate

Performance Task! Let’s perform and simulate!

After grouping the class in twos:
In this brief performance task, simulate the events taking place and happening
in a choir rehearsal for the first group; and happenings in a choir performance
in the second group.
Use everything you’ve learned from the sessions held by the CHORAL
GROUP from lessons 1-10 to be able to perform one song while performing
the said simulations.
Have fun!
