Sneezles: 2-Part Choral Octavo

Light, playful, and infectiously charming. The piece invites audiences to smile while singers discover that comedy requires musical discipline and ensemble awareness.

This octavo works well for middle school through high school choirs seeking repertoire that engages both singers and listeners. It's equally suited to concert choirs looking for a palate cleanser or community choruses wanting accessible, entertaining material.

• Commit fully to the comedic timing; hesitation will undercut the humor. The text's playfulness only lands when singers deliver with confidence.
• Balance clarity of text with musical line. Even in moments of levity, maintain phrase shape and support the melody.
• Let the ensemble find a shared sense of fun during rehearsal. When singers enjoy the material, the audience feels that energy immediately.

Position this strategically in a concert setlist to shift the mood. After heavier or more serious work, Sneezles refreshes the audience and gives your singers a chance to showcase their personality.

• Comedic timing and text clarity in ensemble settings
• Sustained legit tone while articulating character-driven lyrics
• Balanced blend in 2-part writing
