MTC Publishing #859757. Published by MTC Publishing (A0.1267123). You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth - Choral Arrangement for SSAA and Piano by Michael Thomas Coull.You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (also known as You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)) is the first solo single by the American singer Meat Loaf, released in 1977.  It is a track from his album Bat Out of Hell, written by Jim Steinman. According to his autobiography, Meat Loaf asked Jim Steinman to write a song that was not 15 or 20 minutes long, and, in Meat Loaf’s words, a ‘pop song’.  His autobiography also dates the writing of the song to 1975, the song reportedly being a key factor in Meat Loaf and Steinman deciding to do an album together.  The song was the first single released from the album, with an edit of For Crying Out Loud as the B-side.  The record peaked at No. 73 in the Record World singles chart, and didn't appear at all in Billboard Hot 100.  Billboard reviewed the single, finding the guitar introduction to be energetic, the beat to be ‘catchy’ and the vocal performance to be somewhat similar to Bruce Springsteen.  Billboard also commented on how occasional pauses in the instruments allow the ‘infectious’ vocals to be highlighted.   Following the success of the next two singles, Two Out of Three Ain't Bad and Paradise by the Dashboard Light, the song was re-released in October 1978 with Paradise as the B-side.  This issue peaked at No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, over a year after the first release of the song.This exciting and energetic choral arrangement is voiced for SSAA women's choir with piano accompaniment, and will lend a touch of contemporary pop/rock to your next concert.Also available for SATB.

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856221 By Simon And Garfunkel. By Paul Simon. Arranged by Liz Garnett. A Cappella,Pop,Rock. Octavo. 10 pages. Liz Garnett #4612527. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856221). The starting-point for this major show-piece was Disturbed's 2015 cover of Simon and Garfunkel's classic. The White Rosettes sought to capture its escalation of of emotional impact as the vocal range shifted and the orchestration developed through the narrative of a dystopic vision.A cappella voices can capture that sense of build through layering of different sizes of ensemble. And, whilst their timbral palette is more limited than the instrumentation Disturbed could draw on, they have the power of harmony to add colour and impact.The arrangement is built around two main harmonic ideas: juxtaposing minor chords and key areas a third apart, and the dissonance of the melodic major 2nd and minor 3rd rubbing up against each other. Between them they create an atmosphere that hangs heavy with portent and mystery, echoing and amplifying the emotional tone of the lyrics.N.B. This arrangement is notated in treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written) clefs.Vocal ranges:QuartetTenor: F#4 - E5Lead: B3 - A4Bari: C#4 - A4Bass: F#3 - A 4OctetTenor: G4 - D5Lead: C4 - A4Bari: B3 - A4Bass: E3 - C4DuetVoice 1: G3 - C5Voice 2: G3 - A4Full chorusTenor 1: E flat 4 - G5Tenor 2: E flat 4 - F#5Lead 1: B3 - E flat 5Lead 2: B3 - E flat 5Bari: A3 - C5Bass: D3 - G4www.HelpingYouHarmonise.com

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1282948 By Regina Spektor. By Regina Spektor. Arranged by Julian Hay. A Cappella,Children,Contemporary,Film/TV,Pop. Octavo. 4 pages. Julian Hay #874221. Published by Julian Hay (A0.1282948). This arrangement was commissioned for, and premiered by, Voices Co. Pop A Cappella Academy, for our Junior Squad Vocal Band. It is a sentimental and heart warming song, with lots of variety and opportunity for expression. The arrangement is also suitable for SSAT, and can be sung in a lower key if necessary. VOCAL LAYOUT:The melody, or lead line, is divided amongst the vocal parts to give variety. The B.G (background) parts replicate the instrumental accompaniment of the original track, filling out the arrangement and creating the contemporary texture that is at the heart of Pop A Cappella. The dynamics give an indication which vocal parts should be strongest at any given moment, but changes may need to be made depending on the number / balance of singers, and the strengths of each vocal section. As a general rule, the melody or lead should be strongest, followed by any harmony parts (those with lyrics), followed by any background parts (Mmm's / Dmm's, etc).PERSONAL ASSISTANCE:If you need any assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch with us directly, we'd be happy to reply to any questions via email, or you can also book in a 1:1 consultation between your M.D and Julian Hay, or a Zoom workshop with your ensemble for specific feedback:E.  hello@voicesco.nzW.  www.voicesco.nz.

Liz Garnett #4885999. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856235). This song from 1970 is a kindly, though rather tongue-in-cheek, view of the emergent wave of feminism, and in its story-telling paints a picture of a moment in history in the incidental details of milk deliveries office work as much as in the main incidents of its narrative. The chorus transcends this moment in its cheerfully uplifting appeal to a brighter, more optimistic future.The arrangement was commissioned to celebrate a moment in the life of a women's chorus, and is crafted to make sure all singers get to participate in relaying the narrative.N.B.

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856245 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Liz Garnett. Contemporary. Octavo. 3 pages. Liz Garnett #5732647. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856245). This setting of the traditional Scottish song of farewell is designed as an 8-part arrangement that male and female quartets or choruses can sing together to finish a joint performance, as well as two separate 4-part arrangements for the respective groups to use when they're not sharing the stage. It was conceived to address the 'cost-per-wear' problem of special occasion pieces that only get performed occasionally but still need rehearsing to the same standard as the rest of the set.This is the setting for women's voices, in which the melody is taken for the most part by female leads, then handed off to the basses for the 3rd phrase of each verse. The first verse is homophonic, while the second explores a variety of melody+accompaniment textures before restoring the harmonic texture to introduce a tag that blossoms out from unison.The versions for men's voicing and combined voicings are also available for purchase.N.B. This arrangement is notated in treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written) clefs.Vocal Ranges:Tenor: E flat 4 - E flat 5

Born in about 1343 in Norwich, England, Julian survived the Black Plague as a girl of six. She became an anchoress at St. Julian’s Church in Norwich where she lived in prayerful seclusion. In 1373, she became very sick at age 30. Near the point of death, a curate showed her a crucifix for comfort. She then experienced a series of intense visions of Christ and recovered from her illness to write eloquently about her “shewings.� The beautiful Medieval English text for this piece is from The Shewings of Julian of Norwich, Part I lines 148-154 in which Julian reflects on the vision she experienced about a hazelnut in the palm of her hand. She comes to understand that God loves even a small, ordinary thing like a hazelnut, such that it will not disintegrate but last forever because of God’s love for it. In Julian’s vision, the hazelnut symbolizes all that is made — all of Creation that God made and loves forever. The music combines Medieval sounds and counterpoint with lush, modern harmonies, woven together with the smooth color and elegant lines of the clarinet. Singers use Original Pronunciation to capture the lyricism of Julian’s words. May this piece inspire the same awe and amazement at God’s beloved Creation that Julian felt centuries ago.http://adrienneinglis.com.
