'All The Things You Are,' the classic Jerome Kern ballad, is the perfect choice for that "quiet" spot in your vocal program. One chorus, a cappella, written with great respect for the wonderful lyrics and mood of the piece. Using a dramatic mix of quiet unisons, lush open voicings and some tasteful chord substitutions, this arrangement makes an elegant statement that lets the timeless beauty of the song shine through. 'Surrey with the Fringe on Top' is one of the most challenging vocal jazz charts today and worth every minute. This chart was premiered by Dave Cross and the Edmonds Community College Soundsations. 'Never, Never Land,' the beautiful ballad from Peter Pan, is sure to be enjoyed by all. It features thick, lush harmonies as well as a short, sweet tenor and soprano duet. An absolutely gorgeous piece! This setting of 'Where Is Love?' is a lush and easy listening version of this pretty tune. The voicings are balanced and relatively square so it's a good arrangement to work on tuning your group and getting the voicings to ring and buzz in the appropriate spots. It's relatively short with an AABB form. It's a perfect song for a pensive a cappella moment in your program. |
