Composer Joe Liles has been an employee of the Barbershop Harmony Society since 1975 and has served as the Society's Executive Director, Director of Music Education and Services, and as the Music Publications Editor. He is also a composer and arranger of music for religious and popular groups, as well as barbershop quartets and choruses. His catalog contains hundreds of original compositions and arrangements. 'Harmony Leads the Way' should be sung legato, but with strong energy and clear diction. Allow the syncopated rhythms to unify into a steady meter of two without too much accent in the line. This piece would make a great opener or closer. The CD features part-predominant tracks, sung with lyrics. |
