Choral Choir,Choral,TTBB Chorus - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1465763 By Wheatus. By Brendan B. Brown. Arranged by Alison Crutchley. Pop,Rock. 6 pages. Alison Crutchley #1044373. Published by Alison Crutchley (A0.1465763). Wheatus’ college-rock classic is a surprisingly touching story of unrequited-until-the-last-moment love.  It’s given a wistful, reflective feel in this TTBB arrangement. Tenor 2 has the tune in the verse, Tenor 1 in the chorus.  The Tenor 1s split occasionally, to give an additional descant (particularly in the last chorus, where the girl’s telling her side of the story).Arrangement by Alison Crutchley, https://alisoncrutchley.wordpress.com/arrangements.

Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1196607 Composed by John Allison. A Cappella,Contemporary,Contest,Festival. Octavo. 8 pages. John Allison #795770. Published by John Allison (A0.1196607). This is an a capella setting for six-part male voice choir (TTBarBarBB) of a C19th poem that remains remarkably relevant to any contemporary struggle against injustice. The poem was a favourite of Nelson Mandela's during his 27 years of imprisonment. The piece opens with a haunting evocation of the darkness and cruelty of unjust incarceration; a rhythmic middle section portrays the prisoner's stubborn refusal to lose hope and human dignity, whatever obstacles and punishments must be overcome. The final, maestoso section is a rousing hymn, a joyful celebration of determination to remain true to one's beliefs and ideals, and pride in being the master of one's own fate.Audiences will appreciate the variety of moods and tempos within the piece; ending on a huge emotional high makes it the perfect number to end a performance. Male voice choirs will relish the challenge and the opportunity to demonstrate their control of dynamics, rhythmic ensemble singing and a full range of timbres from ghostly to triumphant.

Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.865879 Composed by Leroy Brathwaite. Arranged by Charles Beale. Contemporary. Octavo. 24 pages. Charliebmusic #5313675. Published by charliebmusic (A0.865879). ‘Togetherness’ is a Soca Carnival hit from the 2007 Trinidad carnival, and was sung originally by Alison Hinds on her ‘Soca Queen’ album, with music and lyrics by Leroy Brathwaite, who happens to be Rhianna’s uncle.Suitable for Pride, a Holiday celebration or any show about community, the song contains powerful lyrics about unity, community and togetherness, as well as mentions of stopping the fighting and gun violence. The half time reggae in the middle 8 leads to a defiant unison section where the entire ensemble declares ‘They can’t be believe that we love one another’. This leads to a final explosion of joy. Especially infectious, this tune demands audience participation and choir movement of some kind.The song itself is relatively repetitive and builds in energy with every return of the main chorus. It is vocally demanding and high energy throughout, demanding some vocal stamina and knowledge of Trinidad pronunciation. It could also be an opportunity to learn about the history and practice of carnival across the world, both as celebration of individuality and also as fighting oppression.
