Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1168471 Composed by Donna Summer and Michael Omartian. Arranged by Kathleen McGuire. Disco,Pop. Octavo. 11 pages. Kathleen McGuire #768805. Published by Kathleen McGuire (A0.1168471). ***40th ANNIVERSARY***A Donna Summer hit from post-disco / new wave era (1983), She Works Hard for the Money is more than a fun pop piece. The song tells a story of a hard-working blue-collar woman, based on inspiration Summer found after the 25th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony (23 Feb 1983) when she attended an after-party. She encountered a restroom attendant named Onetta Johnson (whose name is mentioned in the song) whom she found sound asleep - despite a blaring TV - exhausted from working long hours. Summer related the story in an interview: I looked at her and my heart just filled up with compassion for this lady, and I thought to myself: God, she works hard for the money, cooped up in this stinky little room all night. Then I thought about it, and I said, She works hard for the money... She works hard for the money...This is it! This is it! I know this is it! The arrangement opens with an a cappella introduction in full harmony. The melody moves between the altos and sopranos, with each part otherwise providing rhythmic support (echoing the instrumental accompaniment). The sopranos divide into 3 parts occasionally, allowing some high voices (A-flat) to shine. There are no solos in this arrangement -- your women all have opportunity to sing this powerful, true story that serves more broadly as an allegory for women's rights and socioeconomic hardship. The arrangement is a show-stopper, bound to get audiences clapping and even up out of their seats! Set of band parts & full conductor's score available separately: Trumpet, Tenor Sax, Synth, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drum Set.

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.762509 By ABBA. By Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Arranged by Rowena Harper. A Cappella,Barbershop,Broadway,Musical/Show,Pop. Octavo. 7 pages. Rowena Harper #6341475. Published by Rowena Harper (A0.762509). A full bodied ABBA spectacular with a few twists and turns that make this a fun chart to sing thanks to some interesting chord additions and treatments.  The verse starts squarely in low baritone land to kick the song off.  Some interesting embellishments are used to mimic the instrumental sections of the song, the key change is there, as is the final flourish - all hallmarks of the song, which add interest but also complexity for the singer.  Not for the faint hearted, but the potential to be dramatic, as well as the potential for corn-row performance elements should a chorus wish to mimic Mamma Mia the stage show with chorus members peeking out from behind and popping out for that's too bad!  Have a lot of fun with this one!Purchasing allows printing of one copy, and one copy per singer is required.Range (Lowest-Highest): Bass E-D, Baritone B-B, Lead C-D, Tenor G-F#.Key = GThis is a per copy price.
