Jazz choir (SSATB choir, a cappella) - Level 4
SKU: NC.VJ1082
Composed by Paul Winter. Arranged by Brad Rees. Afro-Cuban, World, Jazz, Folk, Contemporary, Vocal Percussion. Set of 16 octavos. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.VJ1082).(Level IV) Taken from two movements of Paul Winter's Mass for the Earth, this arrangement is a unique "world music" feature for any vocal jazz or contemporary a cappella ensemble. It opens with a lush harmonization of a traditional plainsong melody, then quickly changes to Native American chant over an Afro-Brazilian vocalese groove. Recorded by UNC's Et Cetera on Hot XII. SSATB a cappella (with vocal percussion and optional unison chorus).
