By Ballroom. By Alan Bergman, Billy Goldenberg, and Marilyn Bergman. Arranged by Rebecca (Boo) de Bruin. Barbershop,Broadway,Musical/Show. 4 pages. Rebecca de Bruin #933981. Published by Rebecca de Bruin (A0.1349236).

Music by Billy Goldenberg and lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Arranged in 2023 by Rebecca (Boo) de Bruin. 4 pages for Sweet Adelines (ladies' barbershop) quartet. (Tenor, lead, baritone, bass are roughly equivalent to SSAA). Please note: in keeping with normal barbershop practice, an octave-shifted bass clef is used for the baritone and bass parts (roughly equivalent to alto 1 and alto 2).

Fifty Percent is a defiant ballad taken from the 1978 Tony-nominated stage musical by Jerome Kass, Billy Goldenberg and Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Having fallen for a married man, Bea sings of how she would rather have fifty percent of him, or any percent of him than all of anyone else at all. 

Vocal ranges are:
Tenor (S1): Eb4 - F5 (Eb above middle C to F above high C)
Lead (S2): Bb3 - D5 (Bb below middle C to D above high C). (Until the tag the highest note is C, and an alternative tag is included)
Baritone (A1): C4 - C5 (Middle C to high C)
Bass: Db3 - F4 (Db below middle C to F above middle C)

NB It's entirely possible to sing this in E / F# rather than Eb / F (as my quartet does) provided you have a relatively high lead: but it makes it much harder to read!

Learning tracks are available from NewVoice Studio.

Composed by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, and Michel Legrand. Arranged by Jenny Mills. 20th Century,A Cappella,Barbershop,Jazz,Standards. Octavo. 4 pages. LABBS - Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers #817229. Published by LABBS - Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (A0.1220892).

This arrangement of this beautiful jazz ballad was commissioned from the late Jenny Mills by a LABBS barbershop chorus, inspired specifically by the recording by Clare Teal.

Previously licensed for that chorus only, Jen's partner has now donated this arrangement to LABBS for publication on SMP, so that more SSAA a cappella groups can experience singing this beautiful ballad arranged in super-close harmony, with a beautiful romantic message suitable for shows, weddings, engagements and any time.

This arrangement is NOT suitable for barbershop contests, due to many of the chords used having gorgeously evocative semitone intervals within them, which is considered too dissonant for the style.  They are nevertheless extremely appropriate and laden with emotion for a show performance, by a group who can handle the tuning of these unusual (to barbershop) chords.

To hear the version by Clare Teal that inspired this arrangement, search on YouTube for her recording from her album Don't Talk. A sample recording of the arrangement being sung by the commissioning chorus will follow soon.
