Which Side Are You On? 22 Full	Score	All	Sop	Alto	Tenor	Bass	Notes from Janet: Notes – structure The song starts with the choir in two parts sharing the chorus sung over a hum. into the chant: Which side are you on, I said which side are you on, building up from the bass upwards through the choir first verse in unison chorus in the new harmony we learned verses 2 and 3 in unison chorus in harmony spoken bit in parts (will try this in rehearsal and decide whether it’s the whole part or just one or two voices for clarity) over the chant once as before, and carrying on for a second time with all the parts together, but taking it in turns to drop out and speak chorus in harmony verses 4 and 5 in unison chorus twice
