Mambo ItalianoBob Merrill/arr. Jill Gallina.
From Rosemary Clooney to Lady Gaga, and
countless television and movie appearances in
between, this hit single continues to entertain.
Now in this new choral arrangement, it's upbeat,
rhythmic, and pure fun - the perfect novelty number
for any concert! "Hey mambo, mambo Italiano! Go,
go, go, you mixed-up Siciliano!"

t Manly Men (Men's Chorus Extravaganza)
Kurt Knecht. Hilarious! Here is your chance to show
off the personality of your men's group with style!
Familiar melodies, such as Verdi's La Donna e
Mobile and the Toreador song from "Carmen," are
given new words to fit the egos of each different
voice part. From the arrogant Tenors who sing
louder when the pitch gets sour, to the Bassos
who will revolt if asked to sing another "dip-dip-
dip-dip-dah," this is a comic men's feature that will
positively bring down the house! Don't miss it!

n March (from "Solfege Suite")Ken Berg.
Teach your students the value of solfege - and
have a lot of fun, too - with this delightful original
march that has nothing but solfege for lyrics! You
can cover key changes, traditional march form,
accidentals, and movable DO with style and then
use the piece as a light-hearted concert feature
for parents and friends to hear as well. This is
exceptionally conceived and masterfully written!

H Mary Had a Little BluesCharles Collins. This
incredibly original and clever take-off of the familiar
nursery rhyme is bluesy and fun all the way, with
plenty of chances for your students to sing "Baa-
baa" as they tell the part of the story we never heard
in the original rhyme! A terrific novelty feature!

4 Monster MashBobby Pickett & Leonard
Capizzi/arr. Greg Gilpin. Triadic harmonies and
several spoken solos are perfect for younger

n Monster Masharr. Jeff Funk. This is great,
ghoulish fun! Bobby Pickett's hilarious song
from the 60's is still going strong in this super
arrangement. It has all the ingredients that made
the original so popular: spooky sound effects,
hilarious narration by a mad scientist (a la Boris
Karloff) and zombies dancing the mash to the
strains of the chorus singing Oo-wah-oo's. This is
totally outrageous rock-and-roll fun!

Ht Mouse Madrigalarr. Steven Porter. Three Blind
Mice has never sounded like this before! Steven
Porter's "sophisticated tongue-in-cheek" treatment
of the familiar folk song is perfect for the serious
treble choir looking for a bit of fun!

t Music's EchoGreg Gilpin. A text by Thomas
Moore provides the inspiration for this innovative
a cappella piece, which uses percussion
accompaniment to create a magical effect! It begins
with a simple melody, then each part joins with its
own melody as the polyphonic singing builds in a
glorious tribute to music. "How sweet the answer
Echo makes to Music at night, when, roused by
lute or horn, she wakes..." This may be used as a
processional, or it may be sung antiphonally by two
or more choirs. Parts for triangle or finger cymbals,
tambourine, mid/high drum and low drum are
included. Highly recommended!

H Neighbors' Chorus (from "La Jolie Parfu-

performed, widely known selection from Offenbach's

consideration. Basic repertoire at its best!

it a great vehicle for developing jazz inflection and
style. Complete with a kick-line ending, this will
also have tremendous appeal as a fun novelty
number! Highly recommended!

n Peter PiperLon Beery. Based on the famous
tongue-twister, this minor-key original has just
the right melody to match the text! And if that isn't
enough, start the piece slowly, and then increase
the tempo as indicated until the last presentation of
the poem is as fast as your singers can take it! With
a little work and a lot of fun, you'll use this one to
completely dazzle your audience. It's a real treat!

The Pink PantherHenry Mancini/arr. Jay
Althouse. This is phenomenal! Everyone knows the
catchy "Pink Panther" theme as an instrumental,
but... for choir? Of course! Scat syllables do the trick!
The familiar opening riff becomes "Ba dop ba da, ba
dop ba da" with finger snaps. Then the voices imitate
the horns and become a roaring choral big band!
The piano part provides solid support throughout this
awesome chart! Highly recommended!
