In 1991 Charlie Skarbek was commissioned by World Rugby (then the International Rugby Football Board (IRFB)) to produce an anthem that encapsulated the spirit and values of the game. The resulting World in Union was first heard at the 1991 Rugby World Cup, held in England. In the first instance it was performed by New Zealand soprano Kiri Te Kanawa. The melody 'Thaxted' is taken from Gustav Holst's Jupiter, but the iconic tune is probably best known for it’s use in the hymn I Vow To Thee My Country.  PJ Powers and Ladysmith Black Mambazo produced a version in 1995, with Shirley Bassey and Bryn Terfel performing it at the 1999 Rugby World Cup opening ceremony.

This Male Voice Choir TTBB arrangement is perfect for a rousing performance at any venue, concert or event, sporting or otherwise!

By Joni Mitchell. By Joni Mitchell. Arranged by Stephen Smith. 20th Century,A Cappella,Contemporary,Rock,Singer/Songwriter. 7 pages. Stephen Smith #1039211. Published by Stephen Smith (A0.1460308).

In 2019, The Vancouver Men's Chorus asked their longtime pianist, Stephen Smith, to write them a custom arrangement of Free Man in Paris for an upcoming concert. Somewhat surprisingly, he responded with an a cappella version of the Joni Mitchell song, which is famous for its guitar-heavy instrumentals. But the arrangement worked a treat, and ended up being a favourite of many of the singers that term, and a hit with the audiences for whom they sang it. If performed with rhythmic precision and drive, and careful balance between tune and (vocal) accompaniment, it will be a success for your ensemble too!
