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 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.928363 By Andy Grammer. By Andy Grammer and Nolan Sipe. Arranged by Thomas J. West. A Cappella,Barbershop,Country. Octavo. 15 pages. Thomas J. West #5871579. Published by Thomas J. West (A0.928363). This SSAA a cappella arrangement of Andy Grammar's hit song was originally commissioned for an American treble voices barbershop quartet to expand their repertoire past the traditional barbershop homophonic style. It features a contemporary a cappella approach to the backgrounds that is still palatable by the avid barbershopper. Also a great piece to showcase your strong treble singers in a high school choral program. The word sass can be substituted in measure 69 to make the lyrics appropriate for a high school setting. Parts are labeled in traditional barbershop style (tenor, lead, baritone, bass) but apply to the SSAA vocal ranges using the standard barbershop clefs (bass clef for alto parts). The bass part range is from F3 to F4. Tenor part range is from D4 to F5. www.thomasjwestmusic.com .

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856230 By Janis Joplin. By Bert Berns and Jerry Ragovoy. Arranged by Liz Garnett. Contemporary. Octavo. 5 pages. Liz Garnett #4802044. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856230). This song lives on the cusp of Second Wave Feminism. Its lyrics portray a woman fighting to maintain her pride in a neglectful, if not outright abusive, relationship, although it remains, at this stage, still essentially masochistic. She berates, but - in the lyrics at least - does not challenge. The iconic performances from the late 1960s (Erma Franklin, Janis Joplin, Dusty Springfield), though, tell a different story. Anger is erupting into the voices: the personal is poised to become overtly political.The arrangement sets the narrative verses in a melody-and-accompaniment texture, with the harmony parts largely on vocables to let the story through, then builds up to a primarily homophonic texture with everyone participating in the lyrics for the declarative mode of the choruses. It is built to chart a wide dynamic range, charting the emotional range of the original.N.B. This arrangement is notated in treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written) clefs.Vocal Ranges:Tenor: D#4 - E5Lead: G#3 - C#5Bari: B3 - A4Bass: E3 - E4www.HelpingYouHarmonise.com

Choral Choir,Choral (SSAA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1336379 By Christopher Alexander. By Christopher Alexander. A Cappella,Chamber,Contest,Festival. 16 pages. Christopher Alexander #922179. Published by Christopher Alexander (A0.1336379). We Are One is a new choral work for a cappella voices. Starting with a soloist, the piece grows into a small ensemble and then finally the reonant entrance of the entire choir. Harmonic and homophonic voice leading gives strength to the text, creating a hymn-like quality. Divisi does occur at times within specific voice sections, all the while articulating and expanding the universality and connection to the seemingly simple text. Your singers will fall in love with this choral piece and, hopefully, be inspired to create a better humanity for today’s world.

Bob Marley's classic song of social connection is just made to sing with your choir friends. This arrangement started life as a short workshop song, so its opening and closing choruses are learned easily by novices in an afternoon. The verses were added for the host choir to develop it into a performance piece later, and so are more demanding both vocally and musically.

Red Tape Productions #978463. Published by Red Tape Productions (A0.1394975). SSAA acapella.  This haunting arrangement of the familiar Advent tune will show off the voices as modified chord structures draw attention from the audience.  S1 takes the melody in the first verse over an SAA drone.  The second verse highlights an A1 repetitive chant as the S2 takes over the melody halfway through and keeps it the rest of the piece.  S1 floats a descant in the third verse as the altos reprise the first-verse drone, with everyone coming together in the end, culminating in a unison final tone.  Great for church groups, holiday women's choirs and women's caroling quartets!This setting is also available in SATB, SSATBB and SSAATTBB acapella, as well as SATB, SAB and SSA with piano accompaniment.
