Description
Jazz choir (SATB choir with bass and drums)
SKU: NC.VJ1333-R
Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Ward Swingle. Set of rhythm parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.VJ1333-R).(F. Mendelssohn) (Level 4) SATB, bass and drums. "The Spinner" is the best known of the Mendelssohn piano pieces called "Songs Without Words." As one might guess from the title, it suggests the continuous spinning of thread achieved through a relentless series of 8th notes. In my arrangement the singers underline this atmosphere by using light "oo" sounds.
