Art Thou That She A Cappella

Sing Pop A Cappella is a collection of a cappella arrangements of fantastic pop songs old and new, by renowned teacher, singer and director Gitika Partington. Her arrangements are used by choirs across the UK, and she emphasises that being able to read music is not necessary. Rewarding and enjoyable, Book Three continues her project to bring people together through the power of song.What's great about Gitika Partington's Sing Pop A Cappella series is how she understands that to make great music or to sing a great song, it's not necessary to be able to sight-read. It may be useful, but she has learned that there are other ways to communicate music, namely through ear training, repetition and gesture. Her arrangements, five of which appear in this book, have enabled youth and community choirs to spring up across the country, making singing truly and universally accessible. Included in this book are wonderfully rich a cappella arrangements of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers, Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair, Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, Adele's Rolling In The Deep and a huge favourite, Sway (Quien Sera). Vocal scores for these innovative and enjoyable arrangements are included in standard notation, although Partington recommends learning by ear as something equally beneficial. To aid with this, the accompanying download card includes five tracks of audio for each song. One features a full performance demonstration while the other four each focus on either soprano, alto, tenor or bass. The easy download of these tracks makes learning efficient and fun, as you are able to listen wherever you are.The great thing about a cappella singing is that it can be done anywhere, with limited resources, with members who don't necessarily have any musical training.

Denmark Revisited - Danish choral works for mixed voices a cappella.The University Choir Lille MUKO and soprano Else Torp conducted by Jesper Grove Jørgensen.For many years now there has been a broad international interest in performing Danish choral works not least from the 20th century but often the Danish lyrics have been a hindrance in realising this goal outside Denmark. With this in mind we have thought it important to make Danish choral music more available through the release of selected works in which the Danish text is translated into English. With the present choice we have endeavoured to present works which fullydemonstrate the wide range and originality of Danish choral music: the particular lyrical Danish tone of Svend S. Schultz and Jørgen Jersild; the original simplicity of Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen; the characteristically Danish late romanticism of P.E. Lange-Müller and Rued Langgaard; and the music of composers with their own particular musical idiom such as Vagn Holmboe Bernhard Lewkovitch and Bo Holten. We have also tried to choose works with lyrics by writers that are specifically Danish in origin including Hans Christian Andersen Johannes V. Jensen and Tove Ditlevsen. We hope that this release will help to spread knowledge and understanding of Danish choral music outside Denmark.(Jesper Grove Jørgensen)ContentP. E.

An a cappella version of this popular and favourite Hymn tune by George N. Allen with text by Joyce Merman. A slow and thoughtful song that is filled with passion and triumphant rejoicefulness and has been arranged for TTBB choir or Men's Voices. A piano or organ accompanimnet is included here for rehearsal purposes only.

Originally recorded by Nina Simone on her 1965 album I Put A Spell On You Feeling Good instantly became a standard and has since been recorded by many artists including Muse Michael Buble Sammy Davis Junior George Michael and The Pussycat Dolls.The song was originally composed by Anthony Newlie and Leslie Bricusse for a 1964 musical sung by Gilbert Price. After the inimitable Nina Simone recorded an incredible version for her album a huge number of cover versions followed with Muse's attempt being voted the greatest cover of all time by the NME. We still prefer Nina's version though with the powerful emotion that her vocal performances are known for being unmatched by any artist before or since.    This new arrangement of Feeling Good by Christopher Hussey for SATB A Cappella sounds just great injecting a new and fresh take on the classic through the four-part harmonies. This timeless hit is guaranteed to be a surefire hit with your audiences as a familiar tune is sung in a pleasantly unfamiliar way.

for SATB unaccompanied The wonderful choral music of Howard Skempton has a unique voice that is instantly recognizable. Four by the Clock which sets words by Longfellow is a rich and brooding piece that although quiet and slow throughout fizzes with a barely contained energy and excitement for the 'dawn that is to be'.

For SATB unaccompanied-This thoughtful and sensitive setting of the preces and responses for Evensong was written by composer John Gardner for Chorus SATB with solo parts for the priest. Gardner was a modern English composer and teacher held in great esteem who is best known for his setting of Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day which is a most popular arrangement of that carol and frequently performed. While many modern composers have turned their attention to the evening service they have generally confined themselves to the magnificat and nunc dimittis. This step into the liturgical responses is most welcome. The 3/8 setting of The Lord’s Prayer is a particular pleasure.

Composed for Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare the composer writes: Same Train in many arrangements seems to sing of good news coming. But - maybe it was the relentlessness the conclusiveness of the titlephrase - I wondered if what was coming might actually have been a funeral train: coming for our sister our mother and soon enough for us too. I thought of so many other spirituals which sing about dark truths in bright music and wondered if I couldn't use the imitative ch-ch-train ostinato to honour that willfully smiling aspect of the piece while also freeing the harmonies to make audible the more disconsolate feelings underneath.

Duration: ca. 4 minutes SSATB unaccompanied.There are a thousand thingsI would like to be for you But one of the most importantIs just being the someoneYou can talk to.There are so many thingsI would like to do for you And so many thingsI would like to sayAnd give and share.But for todayI just want you to knowThat I promiseI'll always be thereAnd I'll always care.Anon.

Here is a rebel piece of music that combines traditional sacred music with praise music. Beginning with the organ and a stately choir the text from II Chronicles 7:15-16 honors when God is with us in our sacred space. A praiseband feel takes over and introduces a simple song (sung by children or praise singers). Next thing you know the choir and organ bring in two traditional hymns (Come Thou Fount and Joyful Joyful) that all fit together. God istruly in this house for all people of all musical styles.

Uses: General Hymn Arrangement Reformation Scripture: Numbers 12:6; Psalm 16:5-8; Psalm 61:1-5 This sensitive setting of a beloved Irish hymn is truly a worshipful experience. A contrasting a cappella section adds interest and emotional depth while optional use of harp and cello brings the concept to a beautiful level of expressivity. It is a work that your choir and congregation will ask for again and again and we are proud to offer this best-selling anthem in a variety of new voicings.Stunning!
