By Herman's Hermits. By Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Arranged by John Sandford. Contemporary. Octavo. 8 pages. John A Sandford #6658409. Published by John A Sandford (A0.972807).

Looking for a classic popular song for your mixed voice choir but don't have enough men to have both tenor and bass parts? If so, this SAB arrangement of the Goffin/King classic is just right for you. The men mostly sing the verses with the middle 8 section sung by the ladies. The bluesy piano backing adds a slightly more relaxed vibe to the arrangement.

Composed by Carol Hall. Arranged by Jeff Lowden. Contemporary. Octavo. 23 pages. Jeffry Lowden #5209981. Published by Jeffry Lowden (A0.985292).

This is one of my very favorite Christmas songs. When I first heard it, I knew I

wanted my high school choir to perform it. After searching in vain for an arrangement, 

I wrote my own. Don't be fooled by its origin on the television special Christmas 

Eve on Sesame Street - it's not just for the little ones; over the years I've found it to be

appealing to people of all ages. Along with the piano accompaniment, I've included 

electric bass and guitar parts which will complement True Blue Miracle's character, 

effectiveness and fun. I'm still convinced it could become a holiday standard.

By Leonard Cohen. By Leonard Cohen. Arranged by Justin Matthew Starr. Contemporary,Pop,Rock,Standards. 16 pages. J M Starr Music #973074. Published by J M Starr Music (A0.1389486).

“Hallelujah� was originally released by Canadian singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen in 1984 on his album Various Positions. This composition, however, is one of the few in history that may be more well-known due to covers of the song than the original version. In 1991, John Cale did a cover of the song that removed the synthesizers, gospel choir, full band, and low, borderline-talking bass voice from Cohen’s original; and replaced it all with a bare-bones piano and tenor voice. It is not difficult to argue that this arrangement of the composition became the definitive version that all future covers would be based on: from Jeff Buckley’s stripped-down guitar and voice 1994 version, to Rufus Wainright’s piano and voice 2001 cover for the soundtrack to the motion picture Shrek, to k.d. lang, the a cappella group Pentatonix, and many, many more.

When I first arranged this song in 2010 for my 8th grade SAB choir, I did not know the John Cale version existed; rather, I started by transcribing the Rufus Wainright recording and then made it my own from there. My arrangement is melodically akin to the Wainright, but I added harmonies in various places throughout. Lyric selection was also a choice I had to me, as each version of the song contains a different number of verses. Cohen’s 1984 original had four, and then in 1988 he sang a live version with seven (supposedly he drafted over 80 different verses!). I decided to go with five. This allowed me to structure the song in a way that got feature and give the melody to: a Soloist(s) (verse 1), the Baritones (verse 2), the Altos (verse 3), the Sopranos (verse 4) and then the entire choir (verse 5). Over the years that I have performed this with my students, I couldn’t help myself from rocking out with little bluesy fills and licks in the final choruses, so I decided to write it in. I hope you, your students, and accompanist have fun with that!
