Choral Choir (TB) - Level 2 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.779648

Composed by Traditional New Zealand Sea Shanty. Arranged by Kim Kirkman. Folk,Multicultural,World. Octavo. 10 pages. Kim Kirkman #6457001. Published by Kim Kirkman (A0.779648).

Wellerman for soprano/alto choir and piano

I have changed the chorus word 'tonguing' to 'scrubbing'. Tonguing means butchering.

I have also changed the final verse to one about preserving the whales.
The passing years have flipped the tale
The boats now leave to save the whale.
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage captains, crew and all.

There are six verses. The last has a key change.
Exciting, easy arrangement for those interested in the song made famous by Nathan Evans.

SKU: A0.1036255

Composed by Alan Bullard. Children,Classical,Contemporary. Octavo. 11 pages. Colne Edition / BullardMusic #641363. Published by Colne Edition / BullardMusic (A0.1036255).

These two songs are for young voices in two parts, optional descant recorder, and piano. Overheard on a Saltmarsh is an evocative setting of mysterious words by Harold Munro: the colourful song blends an easy melodic line with rich harmonies and spoken effects. A Strange Story is a lively and humorous setting of a traditional nonsense poem, exchanged between the two voices, which makes sense if the punctuation is changed! The separate optional recorder part is attached to the end of this file.

Alan Bullard’s choral works are performed worldwide, and many have been recorded and broadcast. He has a growing reputation for music that choirs enjoy performing, and which speaks directly to audiences.
The Colne Choral Series contains a range of Bullard’s pieces for adult and youth choirs of all types, including cantatas and choral suites as well as individual movements. For full details please visit www.colneedition.co.uk or www.alanbullard.co.uk.

SKU: A0.1186981

By Duane Eddy. By Jimmie Davis. Arranged by Elzbieta Ambrose. Children,Contest,Festival,Film/TV,Standards. Octavo. 4 pages. Elizabeth (Elzbieta) Ambrose #786609. Published by Elizabeth (Elzbieta) Ambrose (A0.1186981).

This well-known song by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell makes a nice addition to any choir repertoire. A jolly, catchy tune with well balanced two parts harmony and a good piano accompaniment will be well received by the audiance, and a pleasure to learn for the choir members, any age. A split to three voices from bar 36 is not essential, but makes a nice change to the harmony line.

SKU: A0.1271776

Composed by Bebe Rexha, Christopher Tempest, David Saint Fleur, Nick Black, and Samuel James Zammarelli. Arranged by Julian Hay. A Cappella,Children,Contemporary,Pop. Octavo. 5 pages. Julian Hay #864130. Published by Julian Hay (A0.1271776).

This arrangement was commissioned for, and premiered by, Voices Co. Pop A Cappella Academy, for one of our Kids Ensemble. It is fun and catchy, and an extended arrangement has also been performed by our Adult Classes (SATB). 


VOCAL LAYOUT:

The melody, or lead line, is divided amongst the vocal parts to give variety. The B.G (background) parts replicate the instrumental accompaniment of the original track, filling out the arrangement and creating the contemporary texture that is at the heart of Pop A Cappella. The Vocal Percussion (Beatboxing) should be a feature, and they provide the arrangement with much of the groove and vibe it needs.

The dynamics give an indication which vocal parts should be strongest at any given moment, but changes may need to be made depending on the number / balance of singers, and the strengths of each vocal section. As a general rule, the melody or lead should be strongest, followed by any harmony parts (those with lyrics), followed by any background parts (Mmm's / Dmm's, etc).

RHYTHM & BASS:


This Beatboxing part is suitable for beginners, and is made up of groupings of patterns. Specific Beatboxing notes are included in their own section.

If your ensemble is without a low bass or a beatboxer you could consider the following options.

- Use electric bass guitar playing the bass part

- Use a drum kit or drum box (Cajon)

- Use a piano to provide some simple background accompaniment

If using clicks or claps, do so on the off beats (2 and 4).

PERSONAL ASSISTANCE:

If you need any assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch with us directly, we'd be happy to reply to any questions via email, or you can also book in a 1:1 consultation between your M.D and Julian Hay, or a Zoom workshop with your ensemble for specific feedback:

UPC: 038081511429.

This rhythmic rendition of the traditional carol is a blast! The funky feel craves choreography (on the Step One! DVD and at alfred.com/video), a likely addition, as accessible writing will make note learning a breeze. A new half-time bridge leads into a key change just before the final groovin' verse.
Recorded Acc. Available.
