Hey guys i have a question maybe someone could help me with on the song Days of ELijah. I have all of the chords but i am teaching our choir this song and when is gets to the "there is no God like Jehovah part they get all off pitch whrn they try to go higher like they do on the original
donnie mclurkin track. im trying to figure out what to teach them to do because i hear the track going higher but i dont think the chords change. Is it going octaves higher? Hopefully yall understand this question. Please respond

The tenors move to the alto part, the alto's move to the soprano part, the sopranos sing the tenor part an octave higher. etc. I believe it's called "inversion".

Yep.

@Purplekeys: Your inexperienced singers are probably instinctively trying to modulate, especially if you taught the song from a track. Just teach them the inversion and all should be well.
When you're in love you don't want to fall asleep bc reality is finally better than your dreams.
