This is the tag from a yet to be written arrangement of ”My Mother’s Rosary.” It’s jam-packed full of barbershop sevenths and major and minor triads, occasionally in unexpected places. The composer’s melody on ”fin-gers” can prove challenging for some leads. Try teaching the baritone part first and holding ”fin-” so that the lead can hear the barbershop seventh chord in which he sings the chromatic major third. There are some challenging leaps in the bass line, but once you get the notes down on this tag you can hardly help but ring every chord.
