Par KANDER JOHN / BEALE CHARLES (Arr.). John Kander and Fred Ebb created a number of 20th-century show classics, including Cabaret and Kiss of the spider woman, but Chicago! is perhaps their greatest and best-loved show of them all. Mama Moreton sings When you’re good to Mama to indicate to the prison inmates how the world really works. She is deeply cynical, knows the ways of the world and controls the purse strings of the prison, but she also turns out to be compassionate – a mother figure to the other inmates. This song requires sassy singing and good communication skills; to convey the double meanings, use careful timing, facial expression and, for the more daring, staging too! This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3 part choirs (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir. Complete with straight-forward piano accompaniments supporting the vocal lines, the Faber Choral Singles series guarantees the perfect repertoire for every occasion – so get exploring and get singing! / Choral Music / Répertoire / Voix Mixtes et Piano

John Kander and Fred Ebb created a number of 20th-century show classics including Cabaret and Kiss of the Spider woman but Chicago is perhaps their greatest and best-loved show of them all. On the surface And All That Jazz is a celebration of bohemian excess of every conceivable kind. Sing the fantastic showstopping melody with great energy have a ball and relish the rich word painting. There is an underlying dark side however which shows itself at the end when Velma murders her unfaithful husband in anger. Vibrato is appropriate and a clear well-tuned brash sound that carries a mile is moreimportant than a refined classically rounded tone here. Make sure the words are exceptionally clear and above all prioritise telling the story.
