In The Mood - Choral Arrangement for SSA and Piano - Arranged by Michael Thomas Coull

In The Mood is a popular big band-era jazz standard, recorded and made popular by American band leader Glenn Miller in 1939. 

Composer Joe Garland (also Glenn Miller’s arranger) based In The Mood on a riff from the composition Tar Paper Stomp by Wingy Manone, and lyrics were added by Andy Razaf.  The first recording under the name 'In The Mood' was released by Edgar Hayes & His Orchestra in 1938.

In 1983, the Glenn Miller recording from 1939 was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.  In 2004, the recording was inducted into the Library of Congress National Recording Registry which consists of recordings that are ‘culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant’.

In 1999, National Public Radio (NPR) included the 1939 Glenn Miller recording in its list of 'The 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century'.
 
Glenn Miller’s record In The Mood, with I Want To Be Happy on the B-side, became the best-selling swing instrumental record of all time.

This 'Andrew Sisters style' SSA choral arrangement is an exciting and fun jazzy song - a great addition to any choir concert.

In this arrangement I have used the original opening with the voices choosing their own version, eg ba ba do bap bap.  This is a great start to a set and challenging as well as exciting to listen to.
