Various Arrangers : Simon and Garfunkel A CappellaPaul Simon is certainly one of the greatest songwriters of the modern popular song and here are some classics that are sure to please. "Baby Driver" - Sheer, unbridled fun! For college or adult jazz chorus, this arrangement as sung by the New York Voices is a bit tricky, but well worth the effort. It features incredible harmony and rhythm and some a cappella sections, but the purpose of this piece is not to get technical-just to have fun! Four-part scat singing frames the piece on either end, while your baritone soloist goes to town (with great choral support) on each verse. Baby Driver, extracted from the New York Voices Songs of Paul Simon CD, is a toe-tappin', hand-clappin' jazz party. Invite everyone you know! "Bridge Over Troubled Water" - The true beauty of the powerful lyrics in this Simon & Garfunkel hit from 1970 comes shining through in this accessible and well-crafted a cappella setting. From the simple and intimate opening to the full-voiced conclusion, your singers and audiences will enjoy an emotional concert experience! "The Sound of Silence" - The excitement for a brand new Pentatonix arrangement of a beloved pop or rock tune has become something of an achievement in an of itself. This time, Simon & Garfunkel's chart topper from '65 gets a fully vocal musical tribute. "Old Friends" - The New York Voices hit a home run with their beautiful and poignant rendition of this song. Fred Sturm has taken that arrangement and made it appropriate for concert choir.
