Lyrics
(German folk song)
All things shall perish from under the sky.
Music alone shall live,
Music alone shall live,
Music alone shall live,
Never to die.

Thank you for your performance. What other songs incorporate vocal multi-part harmony like “Music Alone Shall Live”? I just moved into an independent living place and want to create a vocal group with its residents.
