I warm my choir up on Oh Lord We Praise You (Start in C and modulate to F)
I also warm my choir up on Let Us Praise and Worship Him (old John P. Kee) I start the tenors on E, altos on G and Sopranos on C. I modulate up to A flat on this one
If you don't know this one, I'll share and consider this your late Christmas present...
Tenors have the last note, Altos have the middle note, Sopranos have the top note...
Let Us Praise And Wor- Ship Him
EGC GCE CEG ADF GCE FAD EGC
The bass line is
Let Us Praise And Wor- Ship Him
C, C, G,F E D or F G G C
Repeat each one two times...
This is a very good warm up because you can do it a cappella anywhere before your choir sings at other churches/functions etc...
