Detailed Description
SKU: A0.1910783
By Judy Garland. By E.Y. "Yip" Harburg and Harold Arlen. Arranged by Eoin Conway. This edition: pdf. A Cappella, Broadway, Jazz, Musical/Show, Standards. 6 pages. Eoin Conway #1468729. Published by Eoin Conway (A0.1910783).There are thousands of other versions out there, so this one probably won't be seen by many people, but I'd noticed that most existing published versions were with piano accompaniment, whereas I wanted something unaccompanied for my choir. This unaccompanied version includes the verse ("when all the world is a hopeless jumble..."), and the harmonies have been arranged with careful attention to detail, not just so that they make good counterpoint, but so that the supporting lines contain lots of rainbow-like arc shapes: the audience may not be aware of it, but you will!
This has been arranged for a "decent amateur choir" level, mostly in four parts but with some two-part divisi for ATB. The altos and tenors never divide at the same time, so it would be possible to redistribute all T1 divisi to low altos.
Another thing I wanted to avoid is something I've seen in other arrangements (and which I've been guilty of in the past), where one or more lines get stuck within a narrow range of dull harmonic "filler". In this arrangement, all voices are kept moving throughout their ranges and are given melodically interesting parts, so that the lines are gratifying to sing and give the singers greater scope to express the message of the song.
