As a vocal coach, I find this SATB arrangement of 'The Boy from New York City' to be thoughtfully crafted. The voice-leading is intuitive, supporting the individual singers while maintaining the overall swing feel. The Ab Major key is comfortable, and the intermediate difficulty ensures a vibrant, cohesive sound. A great piece for showcasing vocal ensemble work.

Our choir absolutely loves singing 'The Boy from New York City'! It captures that sassy Manhattan Transfer energy perfectly. The intermediate level is just right for our weekly rehearsals – challenging enough to feel rewarding but not overwhelming. It's a joyous, upbeat piece that truly brings a smile to everyone's face. Highly recommend for a fun sing!

This Kirby Shaw arrangement of 'The Boy from New York City' is a reliable, standard take on the Manhattan Transfer hit. As a gigging musician, I appreciate charts that are straightforward and recognizable. The intermediate difficulty means it's adaptable for various community or semi-pro events. It's a solid addition to any pop/swing choral book.
