BOWS MUSIC
Yo I have loved these songs so much I started doing drum covers from owen
Cheers Owen!! You’re my first ‘like’ – ever!
Hallo for Tomorrow Will Never Come I am a bit confused. Before only Group 1 were doing the harmony for some of it and the descant now the they’ re only doing the harmony but weren’t Group 1 the high group? If so wouldn’t it be better if they did the descant as that is high?
Hmm – you could be right Hannah! I have reworked the song, trying make it easier and I may have got a bit confused! I think I may have decided to split the group 1 part within the group as the descant will only need about 3 singers. Many thanks for you vigilance!!!
Thanks so much John for writing this great play. I couldn’t have had a better one to introduce me to Dynamo.
Thanks,
Barney
Thanks Barney! It’s great that you took the trouble to say so!
