for SATB (with divisions) and piano Higgins's arrangements of three North-American traditional songs are sophisticated and beautiful. 'Bright morning stars' 'Little wheel a-turnin'' and 'He's gone away' are set in a characterful way and supported by well-crafted piano accompaniments.

Sing Pop A Cappella is a collection of a cappella arrangements of fantastic pop songs old and new by renowned teacher singer and director Gitika Partington. Her arrangements are used by choirs across the UK and she emphasises that being able to read music is not necessary. Rewarding and enjoyable Book Three continues her project to bring people together through the power of song. What's great about Gitika Partington's Sing Pop A Cappella series is how she understands that to make great music or to sing a great song it's not necessary to be able to sight-read. It may be useful but shehas learned that there are other ways to communicate music namely through ear training repetition and gesture. Her arrangements five of which appear in this book have enabled youth and community choirs to spring up across the country making singing truly and universally accessible.  Included in this book are wonderfully rich a cappella arrangements of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up Adele's Rolling In The Deep and a huge favourite Sway (Quien Sera). Vocal scores for these innovative and enjoyable arrangements are included in standard notation although Partington recommends learning by ear as something equally beneficial. To aid with this the accompanying download card includes five tracks of audio for each song. One features a full performance demonstration while the other four each focus on either soprano alto tenor or bass. The easy download of these tracks makes learning efficient and fun as you are able to listen wherever you are. The great thing about a cappella singing is that it can be done anywhere with limited resources with members who don't necessarily have any musical training. Partington has created a

Three jazz hymns. These jazz arrangements of well-known hymns were written for Andrew Earis and choirs of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London for various services and BBC broadcasts from that church. The setting of Come down, O Love divine supplies some new harmonic moves to Vaughan Williams? lovely tune Down Ampney, gradually adding vocal harmony through the verses, with a short descant section in the final verse. The compound-time arrangement of God is Love, which can also be sung to the supplied words of Charles Wesley?s hymn Love Divine, again adds more of Todd?s iconic jazz harmonies and textures in the vocal parts with each successive verse. The setting of Let all mortal flesh keep silence is structured to gradually build layers over the moody piano chords and the pedal harmony. At the end the music builds to a large climax for ?Lord most high?. The hymns can be performed using the supplied piano part or using the chord symbols above. Double bass may also be used in addition to piano, again following the supplied chord symbols, and parts for optional jazz ensemble are available. Performers of these hymns should feel free to include the congregation or audience in imaginative ways.
