E Pluribus Unum
E Pluribus Unum, "out of many, one", is the phrase on the Seal of the United States. Never codified by law, the phrase was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956. This sets the tone for this strong setting for developing tenor-bass ensembles. Gilpin affords singers the opportunity to develop independent part-singing with pure, uniform, Latin vowels.
