Lineage (SSA Choir) - By Andrea Ramsey 

As an alto, I LOVE this song

I talked with Andrea about the low key and she insisted that the group for whom she was writing it, wanted it set low. I told her that for a teenaged choir, we took it up a minor third; it worked brilliantly and Andrea said - GREAT! I have no compunction about changing the key if it suits the choir, makes it better for the singers technically, and keeps the timbre of the piece appropriate. Start on middle C (C4) and hear how the sops soar up to F5 - gorgeous!

we get to sing this and the alto 2 part is lovely oh my god

This is definitely an alto powerhouse song! I loved singing it!

We are doing this song at my high school with the same key. I'm an alto and absolutely love the key of this.

SO EXCITED TO SING THIS IN CHOIR THIS YEAR.

Everyone in my choir hates this song😂 i absolutely love it

My Granddaughter sang this with Senior choir. It is Beautiful.

I haven’t listened to this since I was in 8th grade when we did this in choir and now it was in my recommended 2 years later

I've had the privilege of skype calling Andrea Ramsey with my chorale class. We are performing her song "A Letter From A Girl To The World" and it's an absolutely beautiful song. She's an amazing person, singer, and composer, and I'm grateful that I have the experience of singing one of her pieces in concert as well as getting a chance to sing it for her as well and having her tell us what she wanted from that piece as well as giving us pointers. Amazingly talented and a very amazing person overall.

My choir is singing this at Femfest (a girls-only concert), and this is an amazing song! Us altos never have songs that we can sing without straining our voices, but this is the first!

2024 and we are going sing this song in my choir 🫣👀. I am a soprano 1 and LOOOVE this

we’re doing this song at my school and i’m a soprano two and i absolutely love it

This was published on my birthday :)

I have to sing this song in my youth choir

I had to sing this to get into a region choir and OH MY GOD it was stressful to learn but its a really beautiful song.

Word is that the Central High School Choir, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will be performing this lovely piece of music in Chicago during the week of March 21st. (Tentatively: at the WIllis Tower, Lincoln Park Zoo, Field Museum, and Glen Bard East High School) Check them out on Facebook under Central High Music Department. Central High School is one of the oldest continuously operating schools in the country, a magnet school for top students in the city of Philadelphia, one of the most diverse schools in the nation.

This sounds really good at 2x speed.

sang this song at contest and our choir got a 1 it was epic

My middle school is doing this song. I sing soprano 2

Be coming back from MPA like.

I hope I don't come off as hateful saying this, but I find a bit of fault in the ending of the poem. The whole song talks about how women of previous generations were strong, physically and mentally, despite the (implied here) misogynistic circumstances they grew up under. Then the ending comes, and the singer (presumably a woman of a later generation) laments that she's not as strong... why? Because she has many more choices for work, being able to choose between physical and mental work, because she's being more and more respected and faces less discrimination than the women in previous generations did? If anything, it should have been a lesson that would help the young woman eliminate the negative thoughts the still-present misogyny instilled in her, as she would think "My grandmother wouldn't be as respected as a human being as I am - yet she could still kick butt, fend for herself and her family and still have a bright mind." What's more inspiring? For her to lament how "weak" she is due to the less unbalanced gender gap, or for her to roll up her sleeve and say "We can do it!" ?

This is giving me Coven vibes (American Horror Story)

Does anyone know what choir is singing this in the video?

Where doing this in chorus middle school

;)

As if it's bad enough having to sing down to a G in contemporary pieces, but an F? I can barely hit that.
