Musical Arrangements

ARRANGEMENTS for ACAPPELLA CHOIR OR ENSEMBLE ......

I am attracted to strong chord progressions, so Burt Bacharach makes several appearances on this list. I generally use a 'classic' recording of a song, often sharing the melody among the parts to avoid any boredom. All the same, basses do a lot of Bm Bm Dm Dm I'm afraid.

Most of the arrangements are in the original key, so following the parts with the original version is easy. The degree of difficulty varies from easy to moderately challenging, but all are achievable with an average choir. A strong bass section always helps. If you don't have a bass section you can perform the songs with bass guitar nicely.

I will email you the complete score (pdf) plus sound files (midi or mp3) to help you and your choir learn the parts. You can make as many copies as you like (for your own group). Payment is by PAYPAL only. US$10 per song.

Sample scores and sound files :
Sisters Are Doing it For Themselves pdf midi mp3
Tears in Heaven pdf midi mp3
