Description
Jazz choir (SSATB choir with rhythm section) - Level 2
SKU: NC.VJ2370
Arranged by John Turner. Swing, Up Tempo, Christmas. Set of 16 octavos with rhythm parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.VJ2370).(Level II) This arrangement of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen uses a jazz trio with written out parts to back up a very rhythmical version of this seasonal favorite. The drummer is suggested to use brushes. It opens with a baritone or bass section solo and features divisi parts that would be well suited for a good-sized vocal group. The voices are often treated instrumentally by singing short clipped words and syllables and the bass line is set to mimic an upright string bass. It's short, fun to sing, and ends on a major triad! SSATB w/ Rhythm.
