Review: 'The Star Spangled Banner' and 'America the Beautiful' are two of the best-known (and most-loved) songs in America. You will note that the melody of the Banner is passed between the lead and bass sections to preserve the close harmony voicing in this rangy melody. Work to achieve choral balance such that the audience can hear and follow the melody. in the overlay to America the Beautiful, have a small group, or even the audence, sing the unison melody first. Next, have a chorus or quartet sing the overlay section alone. last time through, combine the two parts. Feel free to improvise harmonies in the tag section! Four copies of the sheet music arrangement plus a CD featuring the full performance plus part-predominant tracks (Tenor, Lead, Baritone, Bass), sung with lyrics.

Review: Yes, you want to sing patriotic songs, but you want them with a bit of a contemporary twist? Then check out these charts by Deke Sharon. Standard 'America The Beautiful' is scored SATB w/solo (alto or baritone), with a 12/8 groove. George M. Cohan's 'Yankee Doodel Dandy' is a driving swing, with unexpected syncopations and some whistling with an SSATB voicing. Then there's Neil Diamond's '(Coming to) America' - a contemporary ode to our country of immigrants (SSATB). Lee Greenwood's modern anthem 'God Bless The USA' is designed to send shivers down the spines and bring audiences to their feet. And finally, you can rock out to the Steve Miller Band chart 'Living In The USA' - SSAB w/tenor solo - with a decidedly more jaundiced view of American culture. A little something for everyone!

Review: Widely considered to one of today's top a cappella arrangers Derric Johnson is also one of our favorites. This songbook is a collection of 14 classic American folk songs as for arranged and performed by Derric Johnson's Liberty Voices and which can be heard on their CDs 'A Cappella Americana' and 'A Slice of A Cappella'. To study a Derric Johnson arrangement is to contemplate the canon of a master. Key to his style is his seamless blending of classical choral and jazz idioms that are fresh, yet easy to assimilate. We highly recommend this songbook for most all choirs, ensembles and groups should have a least one Derric Johnson arrangement in their repertoire.

Review: Sing some cool arrangements of the National athem! Beginning with a beautiful unison, Tsunenori 'Lee' Abe's arrangement of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' goes into rich harmony without going too far away from the original. Mark Burnell's 'Star Spangled Banner' is an adventurous a cappella version as performed by Cooler by the Lake for the Chicago Bulls and White Sox. Kerry Marsh's 'Star Spangled Banner' uses some modal re-harmonization, some slight meter shifts and has a rousing finish, with some surprises. This chart sounds harder to sing than it is, as the voice leading is very logical and smooth but the chords are wonderful. Jason Heald's 'The Star-Spangled Banner' is a swinging version of the true 'old standard'. This is a very rhythmic a cappella SATB arrangement with a strong gospel feel. The chart opens with a soprano solo and concludes with bold sophisticated harmonies. A terrific opener or closer for any concert or event! Also included is another spectacular 'Star Spangled Banner' and a beautiful arrangement of 'America The Beautiful' by New York Voices' singer/arranger, Darmon Meader.
