Roger Emerson. Unlike the original ballad heard in the operetta, this is an easy swing choral rendition placed in a key that is comfortable for developing voices, with careful attention to range and accessibility. The middle section with a written-out scat solo can be easily repeated for those choirs learning to improvise, while the familiar melody creates a memorable hook that choirs and audiences will really love. 10833244 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10833223 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10910204 Teaching P/A CD . . . . . . . . 26.99 Swing Song (A Jazz Suite)—Mac Huff.
