Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1220874 Composed by Clare Teal and Nigel John Stonier. Arranged by Jenny Mills. A Cappella,Barbershop,Contemporary,Jazz. Octavo. 11 pages. LABBS - Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers #817216. Published by LABBS - Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (A0.1220874). A super-jazzy arrangement of this uptempo swing song as sung by Clare Teal, this is one that is fiendishly challenging, but worthy of an attempt by established SSAA a cappella groups who are experienced and confident with the swing genre. The arranger, the late Jen Mills, was an accomplished jazz musician as well as a barbershop singer and LABBS Music Judge. This arrangement has been donated by her partner for publication by LABBS on SMP so that SSAA a cappella groups can experience the joy of this arrangement.This arrangement is NOT suitable for barbershop contest, as the harmony parts are frequently performing non-homorhythmically with neutral syllables, to give a huge hit of big band flavour.The arrangement is predominantly in the barbershop style (melody in the inner voice) but at times the melody gets passed around the other parts too, so everyone gets a turn!With an extended vocal instrumental intro, it would be suitable for a show where a spoken intro overlays the first 30 seconds or so (once the speech is planned, some bars can be repeated as many times as needed to accommodate).For those unfamiliar with the song, look up Clare Teal's performance on YouTube from her album Don't Talk. A sound sample of this arrangement will follow soon.
