Hanging On The Telephone – Learning Tracks

There’s plenty of room for attitude in Blondie’s two-minute pop-punk classic.  Alto has the tune in the verse, so keep Soprano light above it; Tenor takes over the melody in the chorus and the bridge, so let their line shine through.  The interlocking rhythms in the bridge – the do-do-dos – need to be kept to strict time; duetting parts in rehearsal really helps everyone understand how the whole thing fits together.

For SATB. Ranges: Eb4-Bb4 in Soprano, Bb3-G4 in Alto, G3-D4 in Tenor, D3-C4 in Bass.
