A Twist of the Tongue : 2-Part : Carl Strommen : Sheet Music : 00-5774

Carl Strommen : A Twist of the Tongue

As the text says, "A twist of the tounge is easier sung than said." It's true! Just "enunciate clearly the words you love dearly" and these "twisters and teasers, grammatical pleasers are" a singer's verbal delight. It's fun, of course, but hidden beneath this song's humor is an excellent teaching piece-ideal for rehearsal work on diction and enunciation. Use it as a vocal exercise or as a concert work...two pieces in one.
