“Going to press”

A light-hearted secular partsong, SATB, with English lyrics, "Going to press" is ideal for a celebratory occasion or as a humorous encore. The text plays on the double meaning of "going to press", first referring to a romantic encounter and then to the printing of a book or newspaper. The composer James Asher Parks captures this playful ambiguity with musical wit, making it an engaging choice for choirs seeking to entertain their audience with charming and clever part-singing. Its straightforward structure and accessible harmonies ensure it is a rewarding learn for singers and a delightful listen for all.
