An original composition for a cappella SATB choir by Ian Maurer of Brisbane, Australia. Not all choral music is serious. “A Choral Menagerie” pokes a little fun at each section of the SATB choir.

Loud and amorous basses, air-head sopranos, conceited tenors and altos with delusions of grandeur.

Like all good fairytales, “A Choral Menagerie” ends happily ever after and contains a moral – that the most unlikely collections of people can produce beautiful music together.

Brisbane Concert Choir, conductor Debra Shearer-Dirié, 16 September 2007.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
“Is that really you singing?”
No. Sorry to disappoint you, but all 4 beautiful voices belong to the men from Moosebutter. They are a professional a cappella comedy group from Utah, and were kind enough to assist me in the making of this video. Check them out and hear more hilariously awesome songs at http://www.moosebutter.com

“What order did you film the video clips in?”

2nd – TOP-RIGHT: Tenor 2
3rd – BOTTOM-LEFT: Baritone
4th – BOTTOM-RIGHT: Bass
