Choir Sheet Music "That Lonesome Road" – Reflective Pop for SATB Choir

"That Lonesome Road" was written by James Taylor and Don Grolnick. The King's Singers – one of the most renowned a cappella ensembles in the world – have included the song in their repertoire, lending it a distinctive vocal character. The song carries an introspective, quiet quality: not dramatic peaks and valleys, but a persistent, inward-looking mood that translates particularly well to choral sound.

A major gives the piece a wide-open, clear sound – the harmonic framework never feels dark, despite the contemplative character. The arrangement makes strong use of dynamic contrast: the dynamics range from restrained, almost intimate passages to broader, full-voiced moments that shape the emotional arc of the piece. The soprano carries the melodic line throughout. The score includes occasional faster passages that demand rhythmic precision from the ensemble. The SATB setting is rated intermediate – solid part-singing experience across all four voices is required.

• Ideal for: Choral concerts, auditions, choir projects with pop repertoire
• Main challenge: occasional faster passages
• Tempo: 96 – calm and flowing

The arrangement suits choral concerts with a mixed pop programme just as well as auditions or ensemble projects at music schools. With its clearly defined voice parts, it also works well in choir rehearsals as a vehicle for working on dynamics and vocal balance.
