African-American writer and civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson is perhaps best known as the author of Lift Every Voice and Sing, written on the occasion of Lincoln’s birthday and now known as the Black national anthem.  He established himself as a writer during the Harlem Renaissance (the African-American cultural movement in New York City in the 1920’s) for his poems, novels and anthologies. This poem Sence You Went Away creates the narrative of one who bemoans the loss of a loved one.  His bluesy poem features a southern dialect style.  It is written for 4-part male ensemble (TTBB) and is performed a capella. Performance time:2:00+  It is an apt introduction to Johnson’s work and most befitting for study during Black History month.

It Was On a Fine Summer Morning, adapted from a song by Irishman Thomas Moore (1779-1852) called A Pretty Maid Milking Her Cow. This TTBB a cappella arrangement of the song will delight the listener. The original song, a ballad, was written several hundred years ago and is here presented with new words and harmonies. Years ago, singer Judy Garland sang a much different arrangement of this song called, A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow, an arrangement containing both ballad and up-tempo elements.

From Wikipedia:

This arrangement is for a ttbb chorus, a cappella.  It would require a chorus of middle to high capability.  It's a ballad appropriate for religious services and concert.  

This hymn was written after traumatic events in Spafford's life. The first was the 1871 Great Chicago Fire, which ruined him financially (he had been a successful lawyer and had invested significantly in property in the area of Chicago that was extensively damaged by the great fire). His business interests were further hit by the economic downturn of 1873, at which time he had planned to travel to Europe with his family on the SS Ville du Havre.

In a late change of plan, he sent the family ahead while he was delayed on business concerning zoning problems following the Great Chicago Fire. While crossing the Atlantic, the ship sank rapidly after a collision with a sea vessel, the Loch Earn, and all four of Spafford's daughters died. His wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram, Saved alone …. Shortly afterwards, as Spafford traveled to meet his grieving wife, he was inspired to write these words as his ship passed near where his daughters had died.

A fun and flashy anthem to add to your Christmas repertoire, and your congregation/audience will love it!

Ska/pop band Madness recorded this song in 1981 and it has become a firm favourite, especially at weddings and anniversary parties. This arrangement avoids the obvious piano chords in the vocal parts, focusing more on melodic polyphony. It is not too difficult to put together and has exciting parts for all singers.

I've also done optional parts for the sax/guitar solo in the middle; these are provided in C (treble and bass clefs), B flat and E flat to cater for almost any solo instrument you have available to play it (possibly a choir member?). This solo should be loud and raucous! The piece still works perfectly well without, however. It is great to perform and to listen to for the audience. Enjoy!

Who said that Back Street Boys needed five people? Here's an arrangement that says that four boys would have done!
This pop song was originally written to cover quite a vocal range, and therefore aspects of the tune are also shared with solo segments that also feature baritone and tenor, plus a small solo for the bass so they wouldn't miss out. The arrangement features the expected and let's face it, much anticipated, key change.  It also includes a nice gentle finish which stays in keeping with the original song. This is a must-have in your a cappella repertoire - but will likely require leads to be able to sing harmony, unless parts are switched.

Purchasing allows printing of one copy, and one copy per singer is required.
Range (Lowest-Highest): Bass F#-B, Baritone D#-B, Lead E-F#, Tenor B-C#.
MIXED options: Baritone, Lead and Tenor are suitable for female voices.

This is a per copy price. Also available as a set of parts (four copies).

(Note: This sheet music is notated in barbershop format: Tenor (T.1) and Tenor (T.2) in treble clef , Baritone (B.1) and Bass (B.2) in bass clef. The Treble clef parts are sung an octave lower than written.)
