An uplifting song arranged by members of the LABBS Music Judging Category in 4 part close harmony for women's voicings, in the barbershop style (internal melody). Sticking fairly close to the original, the arrangement features solos of each voicepart on the melody, and rousing homophonic choruses. The standard tag builds to a satisfying climax, with an optional extended tag that sends it through the roof!

The arrangement is suitable for most female barbershop choruses and quartets as a fun, fairly quick learn for performance repertoire. Each voicepart is well within the standard barbershop ranges of most arrangements (Basses: low E, one low D has an alternate note offered). Note: if you are unfamiliar with the scoring of female barbershop music, be aware the bass clef should be sung an octave higher than written, as designated by the 8 above the clef.

This arrangement is not suitable for use in barbershop contests.

This song and arrangement would also be a great choice for other genres of female choirs and a cappella quartets or ensembles, including high school / college / secondary school choirs wanting to try the barbershop style. It is a fun and modern song containing a strong and poignant message about not bending to peer pressure and being your own person and remaining true to yourself.

This heartfelt ballad is from the hit Broadway production Waitress the Musical, written by Sara Bareilles. This arrangement originally premiered at the Barbershop Harmony Society's 2019 International Convention by Momma's Boys, a men's quartet, but all voicings (SSAA, TTBB, SATB) are available. This piece works well for small ensemble (quartet minimum) or a large choir.

This song is contestable in Barbershop Harmony Society contests, Sweet Adeline's International contests, and Harmony Incorporated contests.

Arrangement of ABBA's classsic 'Thank You For The Music', for ladies chorus.

Created for my own ladies choir, this 4 part song is suitable for any female chorus including high school or community group. Quick and easy to learn with opportunities for optional solos, duets and trios. Rehearsal marks for easy reference and a simple piano accompaniment that can be simplified if needed. Melody is moved around different parts throughout song.
This is nice slowed down as per the example but can also be sung at the tempo of the original.
