Bridge over Troubled Water by Paul Simon. Arranged by Kirby Shaw. For SAB Choir (SAB). Shawnee Press. Choral, Popular Standards/Show Tunes, Contest/Festival Music. 12 pages. Shawnee Press #D0420. Published by Shawnee Press (HL.35002415).
Kirby Shaw's phenomenal arrangement of this Simon & Garfunkel hit ballad is contemporary choral writing at its finest! The light, harmonic a cappella opening is contrasted with this soaring fresh gospel-style setting that holds opportunities for improvisation from multiple soloists. This is an excellent choice for a pops concert or graduation. Available separately: SATB, SAB, TTBB, SSA, Show Band Orchestration, StudioTrax A/P CD.

Don't like the arrangement
This is a beautiful song which gets lost in this arrangement. It's simply too different from the song we all know and love. The wonderful piano lines of the original are lost and there's just too much play. However, at least it's transposed to a key that most people can...
