How to learn the tenor part

  1. 01 · Your part

    Hear your part on its own until the tune of it is in your ear.

  2. 02 · With the others

    Hear it with the others, so you know where it sits in the chord.

  3. 03 · Sing it

    Sing it with the others under you and watch each note light up as you land it. The mic listens only while it plays, and nothing is recorded.

About Loch Lomond

Words: traditional Scottish

Tune: traditional Scottish

Loch Lomond is a traditional Scottish song. Its earliest known printing is an Edinburgh song sheet of about 1840, but the song is probably older than that, and its tune may be older than its words. Ralph Vaughan Williams set it for unaccompanied choir in 1921, and in 1937 Maxine Sullivan's swing version made her famous. Our arrangement is read from Songs of the North, edited by A. C. Macleod and Harold Boulton and first published in 1885, its melody checked against Helen Hopekirk's Seventy Scottish Songs of 1905, and moved from the book's F up to G. This is two verses, each with the chorus "O ye'll tak' the high road", for 2 to 4 singers, everyone on the words: the alto a third or a sixth under the tune, the tenor filling the chord, mostly on G, and the bass on a low G for more than half the song, like a drone, moving to C and D where the chords change.
