Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.972792 By Tom Waits. By Tom Waits. Arranged by John Sandford. A Cappella,Rock. Octavo. 4 pages. John A Sandford #5361413. Published by John A Sandford (A0.972792). An SATB arrangement of Tom Waits song with piano accompaniment, as covered by many artists including Fay Hield, from whom I got the idea for this version. Although written for 4 parts, I have deliberately put the bass line firmly in the piano accompaniment so it could effectively be sung by a 3 part choir, as evidenced by the a capella section at the end. The words are based on British folksong imagery in which the briar represents 'man' and the rose represents 'woman'. .

Published by John A Sandford (A0.1392331). This is an SSA version with piano accompaniment, with synthesised voices used in the Mp3 audio file. The audio file clip starts at the beginning of the 2nd verse starting 'Oh Your sweet disposition....'.  The piece has been transposed up to the key of F, with some slight modification to notes in the upper register so that the melody sits comfortably within the Soprano range.

Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.972794 By Anna Kendrick. By A.P. Carter, Heloise Tunstall-Behrens, and Luisa Gerstein. Arranged by John Sandford. A Cappella,Film/TV. Octavo. 6 pages. John A Sandford #5454317. Published by John A Sandford (A0.972794). A lively 4 part a capella version of this well known song, arranged for SSAA voices. The percussive 'tsi' sounds in the 3rd verse are optional and have been omitted from this recording. They could instead be played on shakers, eggs or tambourine instead of vocalised. This arranged was made for my ladies choir Viva Vocals back in England but I would love this to be sung by an American ladies choir with more authentic accents!

Choral Choir,Choral,SAB Chorus - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1464004 By Creedence Clearwater Revival. By Huddie Ledbetter. Arranged by John Sandford. Country,Folk,Rock. 6 pages. John A Sandford #1042716. Published by John A Sandford (A0.1464004). This arrangement of Cotton Fields is for piano and SAB voices and is additional to the published version for SSA voices which is in a higher key. The tempo on the score is set at 156bpm but could easily be performed at a faster tempo as heard on the Mp3 clip. The straightforward structure of the piece and the repetition in the lyrics makes this a relatively easy song to polish up for a performance. At under 2 minutes in duration, it could be a fun way to open a concert program of popular song arrangements.

Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.972808 By Alicia Keys. By Alicia J Augello Cook, Billy Squier, Billy Squire, Jeffrey Bhasker, Nicki Minaj, Onika Tanya Maraj, and Salaam Remi. Arranged by John Sandford. R & B. Octavo. 13 pages. John A Sandford #6873005. Published by John A Sandford (A0.972808). Stripped back SSA (or SAA) plus piano version of the classic song by Alicia Keys. Many of the glissandos and embellishments of the melody line have been taken away to leave a cleaner version more suitable to part singing. However, where there are solo voice parts (ie like the opening verse when altos and sopranos alternate the vocal melody, the ornamentations can be added back in to provide added colour to the performance. .

Published by John A Sandford (A0.972795). A lively SAT (all men on one 'baritone range' part) arrangement of Vince Clarke's song that features elements of the original version and also the a capella remix by the Flying Pickets. The piano part is also quite prominent with a strong melodic line of its own. Each voice has the main melody line at some point in the performance and can work with 4 individual voices (one per part) or a larger choir. Please also check out my SSAA version which is also available through Sheet Music Plus.

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.

Published by John A Sandford (A0.972801). An SATB short Christmas anthem. Verses 1 and 2 could be sung by different parts if resources demand. For example the first half of each verse could be sung by altos and basses with sopranos and tenors taking over the second half as the melody line rises in pitch. Also, solo voices could be used as shown in the score. A guide piano backing is included for verse 3 but should be sung unaccompanied for best results. .
