A charming swing-infused standard, first published in 1924, that has been recorded by a wide variety of hit- makers including Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, Michael Buble and Carrie Underwood. Perfect for school concert choirs as well as show choirs and community choirs, these quickly learned choral parts feature plenty of unison and two-part singing with the melody shared between the voice parts, along with short solo opportunities that make this an easy vocal jazz feature to learn and perform. Highly recommended! 10751976 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 10751977 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 10751979 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.99 James Bond Themearr. Jay Althouse. Using "Ba da da da" and "Dum da ba dum dum" syllables over a solid accompaniment, Jay has created an incredibly exciting choral tapestry of the famous "James Bond" movie theme, which was first heard in the soundtrack of the movie "Dr. No." For concert choirs and vocal jazz groups, this is not to be missed!

From quiet to soaring, this original choir piece is lyrically simple, yet profound in the exploration of the many "moods" of praising with a single word. The word "Alleluia" or "Hallelujah" (from Hebrew) literally means "Praise ye Yah" or "Praise Jah, you people." By paying close attention to phrasing, dynamics and tempo coloring, the piece will come alive all the more in its presentation. 10428815 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 4 Jazz KyrieAndy Beck. Here's a quintessential bossa nova on just three Latin words from the Kyrie mass text. Bossa nova is a musical genre that began in Brazil in the 1950s that consists of the combination of samba rhythms, jazz sonorities, and lyrical melodies to create a new, sophisticated style. Optional flute and/or vibraphone (available free online) adds another smooth layer to this hip contemporary choral that offers a traditional sacred text in a fresh, surprising setting. 10738849 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10738850 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10738851 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10751965 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.99 Linus and LucyVince Guaraldi/arr.

Highly recommended! 10455744 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10455745 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10455746 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 10455747 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 Ht Linus and LucyVince Guaraldi/arr.
