Product Description
This chart features a Bobby McFerrin-style (ala "The Voice" album) bass line throughout. It also uses vocal percussion and body sounds (chest slaps, finger snaps, etc.) to provide rhythmic interest.
There is a single solo throughout, but it could be split up into more than one feature, if used for a choir concert, or a large, multi-part a cappella group.
Breathing is a little difficult in some spots. Rests are written in to try to compensate, but sometimes a catch-breath is just needed in the middle of a phrase.
The form of this tune is very much the same as the original song by The Police.
The arrangement attempts to create difference between passages by using different textures and arrangement devices, but feel free to accentuate these differences by using volume and timber changes (i.e. sounding like an electric guitar) as well.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
