Jazz choir (SATTB choir, a cappella) - Level 4
SKU: NC.VJ2433
Composed by Yumiko Matsuoka. Jazz Waltz. Set of 16 octavos. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.VJ2433).(Level IV) My Grandfather's Clock An American classic sung all over the world is now a spirited jazz waltz! Commissioned by a Japanese arranger, written for Vox One, it features tenor and soprano solos, incorporating the sounds that old clocks make (tick, tock, ding, dong) in the background. The section where grandfather departs from this world is more somber, but it eventually resumes its initial tempo to a heartfelt finish. Suitable for choir as well as well-rehearsed small ensemble. SATTB a cappella.
