Written for the James Bond film Spectre, ?Writing?s on the Wall? is a powerful anthem sung by Sam Smith. It won the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Original Song, reaching No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart. This arrangement is written for a cappella SATTB (or SAATB depending on preference) and encourages smooth singing, solid breath control and sustained lines. The popular melody is shared across choral parts, giving each voice line an opportunity to utilise a cappella accompaniment skills as well as a moment to deliver the catchy tune itself. This arrangement is ideal for high school choirs, chamber choirs, or a cappella groups interested in exploring a song which is both fun to perform and great to listen to as an audience member. The song works equally well as a bold opener, encore or as part of a film music set or theme.

Arranged by Greg Link, a London-based professional singer, arranger and workshop leader

Everyone enjoys Celtic Folk Songs and Folk Hymns but not all realize that often they can be one and the same. A hymn text has often found its home in a folk song and a secular text sometimes finds a home in a hymn tune. This collection has a little of both. All but one of the tunes in this collection are of Celtic origin. The exception, ?Amazing Grace,? is a folk hymn of unknown origin that has all the markings of a Celtic Tune, including a pentatonic harmonic foundation.
For the harpists who also like to understand the history of a tune or even sing along, a variety of texts along with information about the tune and the lyrics can be found in the back of this book in the ?Notes on the Tunes.?
