For decades, the traditional German canon, “Music Alone Shall Live,” has served as an educational building block to teach children's choirs the skill of part singing. The melody is comprised of three short phrases offering natural entrance points to sing the song as a round. Sing the piece in English, German, or a combination of both languages.
