With two altos, two sopranos and two bass, a sextet was written so everyone in the group could participate in the song.

Each member in the six-man band performed in the sextet by strumming their instrument and singing the vocals.

While listening to the classical song on the radio, the musical expert recognized the sextet as having one violin, cello, guitar, bass, harp and viola.

As the opera singers filed on stage, the audience was ready for the sextet to be performed with all six voices blending together.

From the chorus of twelve girls, the chorus teacher chose a sextet for the next song so only half of them would perform.
