This gospel style song, is great for your soloists to add their 16 Bar Blues solo over the B sections. A fun, easy piece for either large or small ensemble. The 3 page score includes a notated sample verse ‘Pots and Pans’ by Georgie Sinha. It comes with a piano mp3 of the score, and I will happily send you a community choir performance mp3 which has 4 great verses to get your soloists thinking! The soloists have given permission for me to share this with you 🙂 Written for my local community choir ‘Warrandyte Voices’ it has an A and a B section, and all kinds of things happen when they get their solos cranking! We often extend the B Section if the solo is taking off. On one occasion the eldest of our Altos (a 72 year old woman of great faith), began making all kinds of wild propositions to one of our bass singers! It was of course all in good fun, but the choir were rolling on the floor and the B section went for ages! There is one standard C minor score that works for any mix of voices. |
