Samba Mass by Bob Chilcott for SSA or SATB Piano and Optional Guitar Bass and Drum kit.

Originally popularized by the Four Freshmen this iconic arrangement of the Bobby Troup song helped pave the way for a cappella vocal jazz as well as influencing the singing style of the Beach Boys.

The great and legendary arrangement by Bob Chilcott of this classic Beatles song for The King's Singers has been adapted for 4 part choir and piano. Now nearly all SATB choirs can enjoy this iconic arrangement which was for so long limited to choirs who could sing 6 part a cappella music.

The Nidaros Jazz Mass draws on a variety of jazz styles to present a fun and innovative setting of the Latin Missa brevis. With a gentle Kyrie funky Gloria ballad-like Sanctus laid-back Benedictus and passionate Agnus Dei this work breathes new life into familiar words perfectly combining the contemporary with the ancient. The stylistic piano part can be played as written or serve as a guide and an optional bass and drum kit part is available separately for jazz trio accompaniment. Ideal for all upper-voice choirs the Nidaros Jazz Mass will make a groovy and soulful addition to any concert programme.This work was commissioned by theNidaros Cathedral Girls' Choir of Trondheim Norway.
