By USA For Africa. By Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. Arranged by Mike Dana. Contemporary. Octavo. 25 pages. Mike Dana Music #5314631. Published by Mike Dana Music (A0.977859).

The message of We Are The World is timeless. This arrangement remains true to the spirit of the original, but is more soulful. There are several solos and duets (as in the original) and an uplifting modulation heading into the last chorus. The optional (included) guitar, bass, and drum parts add a lot to the drive of the piece, but it also works well with the piano accompaniment. Get your 80s on with this classic!

By Lorrie Morgan. By Richard Rodgers. Arranged by Mike Dana. Broadway,Film/TV. Octavo. 19 pages. Mike Dana Music #5776589. Published by Mike Dana Music (A0.977870).

This classic jazz waltz gets a fresh coat of cool reharmonization in this very accessible arrangement for intermediate SATB vocal jazz ensemble (plus rhythm section.) Ranges are conservative, and there are only a few splits. Piano/guitar, bass, and drum parts are included (chord symbols and slashes.) A tiny bit of Carol of the Bells makes this a fun chart for December concerts (but it'll still work all year long!)

Composed by Chick Corea. Arranged by Mike Dana. Contemporary. Octavo. 17 pages. Mike Dana Music #5775047. Published by Mike Dana Music (A0.977866).

This arrangement of Chick Corea's Sea Journey was written for an intermediate level vocal jazz ensemble (no extreme ranges, very few splits in soprano and tenor only.) Tenors and basses set up the opening ostinato, with ethereal sopranos and altos taking the melody. An open solo section (vocal or instrumental) includes some very cool background lines. The ending is very powerful, making this a good choice to close your concert or festival set. A master rhythm part (mostly chord symbol;s with slashes) is included.

The solos can (and should!) be distributed among your singers. There's even a section (optional) where you can invite the audience to join in for the final chorus (and they will!)

By Astrud Gilberto. By Antonio Carlos Jobim. Arranged by Mike Dana. Jazz. Octavo. 14 pages. Mike Dana Music #5996887. Published by Mike Dana Music (A0.977869).

How Insensitive is one of the most beautiful bossa novas from the Jobim songbook, and a favorite of mine.  If you have an SSAA vocal jazz group, or just want to feature those voices on a chart, please look at the sample score pages! The arrangement begins with an arpeggiated vocal effect. Your most evocative soloist has the first first verse, accompanied by the Greek chorus of the other voices. After the solo section (for vocal or instrumental, tasty backgrounds included!) and a cool modulation, all the elements come together once again for the final verse, which features an airy soprano solo. In addition to the vocal score, parts for piano/guitar (with sample voicings included). bass, and drums, are included. This chart will allow your singers to shine, and also serve as a beautiful change of pace for your concert and festival performances.
