Jazz choir (SATB choir, a cappella) - Level 3
SKU: NC.VJ2395
Arranged by Mike Dana. Ballad, Patriotic. Set of 16 octavos. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.VJ2395).(Level III) America The Beautiful, by Mike Dana is a heartfelt arrangement and written after the events of 9/11. Set in a contemporary harmonic framework, it features brief solos for a soulful tenor, and after a modulation for the second verse, alto. The rubato a cappella setting allows for a naturally fluid interpretation that works equally well for jazz singers, chamber groups, and concert choirs at both high school and university levels.
