Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856207 By Mika. By Dan Warner, Jodi Marr, John Merchant, and Mika. Arranged by Liz Garnett. Dance,Pop. Octavo. 6 pages. Liz Garnett #4312139. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856207). Mika's hit from 2007 is an exuberant (and at times petulant) critique of the way the music industry seeks out individuality and talent, then insists on working it over into safely commercial products. (Of course, that he had such success with it suggests that things aren't quite as bad as the song makes out.) But the song also works as a more general statement about everyone's personal stand against the tyranny of our peers' expectations.The original has a very rangy melody, which carries a considerable variety of vocal characterisation. The arrangement unfolds this onto the four different parts, each taking on certain aspects of the line's mercurial identity. Sharing the melody's vocal demands around does not necessarily make either the characterisation or the ranges easier, however, since it also means that every part is switching between lead and accompanying roles, at times quite quickly. So it needs generous ranges, quick-wittedness and - above all - performative swagger to carry it off.There is space for the snippets of dialogue from the original track; but whether (and how much) to use it would depend on the performance situation. My own feeling would be that the middle one ('getting angry won't solve anything') works just fine slotted in between the verses, but that the snippets at start and end would need more setting up to make sense to an audience unfamiliar with Mika's recording.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 - F5Lead: F3 - F5Bari: G3 - C5Bass: E flat 3 - B flat 4NB - the list price includes 4 copies of the music

Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856232). Imelda May's wistful ballad adapts beautifully to the barbershop style to make a fresh and appealing contribution to either contest or show set.

Rowena Harper #4330565. Published by Rowena Harper (A0.762491).

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856164 Composed by Jule Styne. Arranged by Liz Garnett. Contemporary. Octavo. 5 pages. Liz Garnett #3866281. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856164). Marilyn Monroe's famous number from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes received an update with Nicole Kidman's performance in the film Moulin Rouge. This arrangement uses both as reference points, but its rhythm is characterised throughout by a riff from the latter. Both the rhythmic flavour and the embellishment strategy - which involves a good deal of melody-swapping in the second half - give plenty of opportunities for visual entertainment. It is a song that can't afford to take itself too seriously, but rewards a combination of self-deprecation and unashamed glitz.The arrangement is notated in the traditional clefs for women's barbershop: treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written).Vocal Ranges:Tenor: C#4 - F5Lead: A3 - E flat5Bari: G3 - E flat5Bass: D3 - A flat5www.HelpingYouHarmonise.com

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856260 By Eliza Doolittle. By Eliza Caird, Felix Powell, George Asaf, Matthew Prime, and Tim Woodcock. Arranged by Liz Garnett. Pop. Octavo. 7 pages. Liz Garnett #6563211. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856260). Eliza Doolittle's quirky critique of social media culture remains both as catchy and as relevant as it was when it came out in 2010. The arrangement shares the melody between lead and bass (with a tenor cameo towards the end). The main challenges are some rangy lines (as in the original) and characterising the chromatic gestures that define the expressive flavour of the song.N.B. This arrangement is notated in treble and bass alta (i.e. sung an octave higher than written) clefs.Vocal Ranges:Tenor: C4 - E5

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar. Thunder clouds rend the air. Baffled our foes stand by the shore. Follow they do not dare. Though the waves leap soft shall ye sleep ocean's a royal bed. Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep watch by your weary head. Many's the lad fought on that day. Well the claymore did wield. When the night came silently lay Dead in Culloden's field. Burned are our homes. Exile and death scatter the loyal men. Yet e'er the sword cools in the sheath Charlie will come again. Speed bonny boat like a bird on the wing. Onward! the sailor’s cry. Carry the lad that is born to be King over the sea to Skye.

Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.6377-E). English.Crossing the Bar creates images of the sea, with the final voyage leading us out across the water, to see our Pilot, face to face. The musical setting endeavors to express the growth from peaceful to ecstatic moods, the tolling of the bell, the meeting of the Pilot. May there be no moaning of the bar, when I put out to see.The poetry of Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) is characterized by dark, yet transcendent imagery -- the depths of the ocean, the triumph of the spirit. These poems seem well-suited to musical settings for Men's Chorus. The deep tones. The sonority of male voices (perhaps speaking for the poet) rising in song.Throughout the varied imagery of this poetry -- the depth of the sea, the dark of the night, the tumult of passion and the acceptance of death -- there speaks one, central message. Love was my lord and king..

The warm sounds of the easily playable piano accompaniment emphasize the melancholy and touching air of this wonderful Irish folk tune. A catchy tune – guaranteed!

Female choir (SSAA) a cappella - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q25902 Composed by Peter Paul Foerster. This edition: choral score. Schott Choral Music. Downloadable, Choral score. Schott Music - Digital #Q25902. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q25902). German.'I like writing singable and text-oriented works. As one critic once wrote, the pieces often are placed between archaic church mode and modern music and oriented by the rhythm of language. I like using Gregorian … quotes. Choirs at a good level which set store by a sense of tone and expression find my settings easy to master.' (Peter Paul Förster) All these characteristics described by Peter Paul Förster himself of his own compositional style are true for his choral work Herr, mach mich zum Werkzeug deines Friedens as if tailor-made. At the same time, his sacred choral piece for four-part women's a cappella choir (SSAA) is imbued with warmth and sincerity which lends special weight to the solemn request for peace and reconciliation. A wonderful gem of church music which actually makes the listener's heart skip a beat!

Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856220). Sam Smith's theme tune for the James Bond film Spectre pulls at the heartstrings as it wavers between strength and vulnerability in an atmosphere of impending doom. The arrangement shares melodic material between the parts: the lead taking the main narrative, but handing over to the tenor for passages of particular emotional fragility. The bass takes the melody in the bridge, echoing the orchestral surges of the original, while the baritone takes the characteristic Bond-motifs that are woven in as counter-melody throughout.N.B.
