In two American choral works of the 1820s (different composers,
different cities) I have encountered alto parts that are clearly
intended to sound an octave lower than written, like the tenors.
Has anybody else ever come across this practice?
Yes. And something else to watch out for in choral works published by
Americans, is a score order (top down) of TSAB, with SA occurring with
about equal frequency on one and two staves.
