By Floyd Cramer. By Harry Warren and Mack Gordon. Arranged by Stewart J Wallace. Film/TV,Jazz,Standards. Octavo. 22 pages. Stewart J Wallace #776126. Published by Stewart J Wallace (A0.1176000).Chattanooga Choo Choo was recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1941 and was the first song to gain a gold record for 1.2 million sales. It was featured in the film "Sun Valley Serenade", released in the same year. Many other artists have recorded the song over the years, including Harry Connick Jr, George Benson, and Floyd Cramer.
This is an SATB choir and piano arrangement that incorporates some scat-style accompaniment in the lower voices, with the melody sung by the sopranos. The opening will need some careful counting - fingers clicks might help - and throughout the rhythms should be sung with a relaxed, swing feel. The words need to be articulated clearly too. The piano accompaniment mirrors the voices in the main sections and provides block-chord accompaniment in the middle 8, but chord symbols also allow for some freedom from the score. The sheet music includes a SATB-only copy, so it could be performed a capella.
