Publisher Desc.  DURATION: about 3 minutes. The text for How Can I Keep from Singing was written by members of the Derventio Choir of Allestree, Derbyshire, England, and Steven Paxton's setting was composed for the competition celebrating that choir's 30th anniversary. Moderate tempo acappella sections alternate with fast, rhythmically driving sections mixing 6/8 and 5/8 meters. The piano accompaniment is challenging, but worth it. Alvailable in versions for SATB, SSA and SABar choir.
