Jazz choir (SATB choir, a cappella) - Level 3
SKU: NC.VJ1142
Composed by Ralph Towner. Arranged by Gary Rosen. Ballad. Set of 16 octavos. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.VJ1142).(Level 3) This is an a cappella arrangement of Ralph Towner's beautiful melody, previously performed by the Paul Winter Consort and by Oregon, with poetic lyrics by Gary Rosen. An open, multi-textured arrangement, it starts with a bass ostinato, building gradually with the addition of a lilting melody and gentle background and rises to a climax with multiple contrapuntal, interweaving lines which resolve inevitably to a rich final chord. Recorded on UNC's Hot VI. SATB a cappella.
