Blue Moon , written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934, has had many treatments over the decades. Mel Tormé made a smooth hit version in the 1940s, Elvis Presley put it on his first album in 1956 and The Marcels had a doo-wop hit with it in 1961, but 'An American Werewolf in London' was the first movie to associate this most romantic of songs with lycanthropy. This brand new arrangement by Simon Foxley and Christopher Hussey for SAB choir makes the evocative standard a welcome addition to the Novello Choral Pops series. / Choeur Mixte (SAB) Et Piano

Over the Rainbow is a standard that has become forever associated with its most famous interpreter, Judy Garland. Her troubled adult years only added poignancy to her guileless interpretation of the song, preserved on celluloid in The Wizard of Oz when she was seventeen. The song would also do something similar for Eva Cassidy whose 1992 version brought her posthumous fame almost a decade later. Arranged beautifully by Christopher Hussey for SAB choir with Piano accompaniment, this anthem of hope has not lost its bitter-sweet yearning. / Choeur Mixte (SAB) Et Piano

Chor zu dritt with its three-part settings is aimed at the large number of choirs which cannot do full justice to the mainly four-part choral literature with divoded male voices.
