As one of the most recorded songs of all time this new arrangement in a samba style is a wonderful introduction to this important composer this important style and this popular song. Accompanied by a rhythm section their parts are written out to clearly give your players--young or old--a solid foundation in this Latin style.

Often called the George Gershwin of Brazil Antonio Carlos Jobim added large numbers of songs to the jazz repertoire. He certainly symbolized Brazil in the eyes of the world. Especially known for his bossa nova stylings this is a tasty arrangement that cannot help but be sung with style. There is divisi for both the men and the women and dissonance and suspensions are abundant making this a great selection for advanced high school colleges and community choirs looking to add a little style to their concert.
