Description
Jazz choir (SAATB choir with synthesizer, bass and drums) - Level 1
SKU: NC.VJ1345
Composed by Orlando Gibbons. Arranged by Ward Swingle. Octavo. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.VJ1345).(Gibbons) (Level 1) SAATB, synth, bass and drums. I adapted this famous madrigal slightly by having the soprano part sung as a solo with the other voices singing a string-like accompaniment. This is followed by a full five-voiced version. Gibbons has written some lovely counterpoint but it sometimes obscures the text.
