You Gotta Be by Des'ree SSAA - Digital Sheet Music

An uplifting, motivational and inspirational song arranged by members of the LABBS Music Judging Category in 4 part close harmony for women's voicings, in the barbershop style (internal melody). Very much inspired by the original song as sung by Des'ree in 1995, the arrangement features different textures of voicings and homorhythm, taking the singer and audience on the journey through levels of empathy and encouragment to feel empowered. The arrangement is suitable for most female barbershop choruses and quartets as a popular choice for performance repertoire. Each voicepart is well within the standard barbershop ranges of most arrangements (Basses: occasional quick low Ds). Note: if you are unfamiliar with the scoring of female barbershop music, be aware the bass clef should be sung an octave higher than written, as designated by the 8 above the clef.This arrangement is not suitable for use in barbershop contests.This song and arrangement would also be a great choice for other genres of female choirs and a cappella quartets or ensembles, including high school / college / secondary school choirs wanting to try the barbershop style. It is a fun and modern song containing a strong message about living your life to the fullest and staying strong and empowered.Learning tracks available separately from Helen Warner, contact LABBS for details.www.labbs.org.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/SingLABBS/
