UPC: 038081542249. English. Johnny Mercer.
This Johnny Mercer, Harry Warren tune was premiered by jazz legend Louis Armstrong and nominated for an Academy Award in 1938. The lighted-hearted, innocently flirtatious song has since become an iconic standard. Jay's fantastic arrangement includes the opening verse, some easy scat singing, and plenty of jazz sonorities throughout. Add the rhythm section SoundPax for even more style.

Excellent 3-part writing, right on the mark for young men and women. Teach the song in English before introducing the optional French text (an IPA pronunciation guide is included). When your students are ready to sing a cappella, consider eliminating the piano accompaniment---it works either way.

This text is taken from the Dies Irae Sequence from the Requiem Mass. It is a contemplation of the arrival of judgment day. The A-sections, mm. 1-29 & mm. 43-end, are a manic depiction of the fierce wrath of judgment day. They should be sung with fire, crisp consonants while always enunciating the accents in order to realize the full effect of this powerful text. The entire demeanor of the tone and facial expressions should change for the B-section, mm. 30-42 as it is a plea for mercy. The audience should realize the change in this contrasting section. Translation Dies irae, dies illa: Day of wrath, that day Solvet saeclum in favilla: shall dissolve the world into embers Teste David cum Sibylla: As David prophesied with the Sibyl. Voca me cum benedictis :Call me to be with the blessed. Salva me fons pietatis : Save me, fount of pity. The Sibyl is a reference from a Greek word, which means Prophetess. In this context, the word appears in plural, referring to many prophetesses. David, or King David, has long been considered prophetic among biblical scholars. About the Arranger D.

This swingin' standard made Rolling Stones' 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list and has been recorded by various artists from The Flamingos and Art Garfunkel to Michael Bublé. This big-band style arrangement includes a dash of scat singing toward the end and plenty of jazzy syncopations along the way. Besides the obvious meaning of the title, a current-day twist hints at smizing over a face mask (wink, wink).
