'On A Day When the Wind Is Perfect? is an uplifting affirmation of joy and beauty that the world affords every day to the eyes and heart that are opened to perceive and receive it. The poem and music describe the feeling of everything in life flowing with the ease of a boat propelled to glide effortlessly over the water by the wind that fills its sails. The work compares the human eyes and heart to the life giving sun, and the breeze that fills the sails of a boat to the inspiration that fills the soul, leading the body to ecstatic dancing and drumming. Finally, it compares the opening of the sails by the wind to the opening of the heart by love, which is always available at every moment. / Choeur SSA

Par KANDER JOHN / BEALE CHARLES (Arr.). John Kander and Fred Ebb created a number of 20th-century show classics, including Cabaret and Kiss of the Spider woman, but Chicago is perhaps their greatest and best-loved show of them all. On the surface And All That Jazz is a celebration of bohemian excess of every conceivable kind. Sing the fantastic, showstopping melody with great energy, have a ball and relish the rich word painting. There is an underlying dark side, however, which shows itself at the end when Roxie murders her unfaithful husband in anger. Vibrato is appropriate and a clear, well-tuned, brash sound that carries a mile is more important than a refined, classically rounded tone here. Make sure the words are exceptionally clear and above all, prioritise telling the story.
