Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.865865 By David Bowie. By Carlos Alomar, David Bowie, and John Lennon. Arranged by Charles Beale. A Cappella,Pop,Rock. Octavo. 12 pages. Charliebmusic #5296277. Published by charliebmusic (A0.865865). Co-written by David Bowie, John Lennon and Carlos Alomar, ‘Fame’ is from the 1975 Bowie album ‘Young Americans’. Documenting Bowie’s American experience, the song is simultaneously a celebration of fame, and also a cutting and cynical tear-down of it. Lyrics reference how fame ‘drives you insane’ and ‘makes you hollow’, ‘too cool to fool’.This energized and compelling TTBB arrangement has elements of a cappella, with 4-part vocal recreation of upbeat 1970s funk grooves. Intermediate level with a couple of more challenging melodic moments in individual parts, it would suit a chorus comfortable with making a pop sound. Suitable for choreography and costume, if your chorus enjoys that.
