Recording: Cantate Domino (from Pitoni)
Some members of Xenia Christian School's 7th & 8th grade choir sing an LRA arrangement of Pitoni's "Cantate Domino" in May 2015. They are warming up in the gymnasium of the Greene County (Ohio) Juvenile Detention Center as they prepare for an outreach concert. The accessible vocal ranges of LRA scores, especially for boys, is the main reason this group is able to sing great historical choral literature a cappella and in tune.
