Product Description
Words and Music by Sara Bareilles. Arranged in 2020 by Boo de Bruin. 7 pages for Sweet Adelines (ladies' barbershop) quartet. (Tenor, lead, baritone, bass are roughly equivalent to SSAA).
Love Song was Sara Bareilles' debut single, reaching number four in the Billboard chart. It received Grammy Award nominations for Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
This arrangement was written for a barbershop quartet, and as such the lowest voice part has a lower range than is custom for choral SSAA writing. However, the range of the entire arrangement is quite narrow, and so it could be sung in a higher tessitura without undo strain on the upper voices.
Please note: in keeping with normal barbershop practice the men's barbershop voicing names are used (tenor, lead, baritone and bass) and an octave-shifted bass clef is used for the baritone and bass parts.
Vocal ranges are:
Tenor: F4 - E5 (F above middle C to E above high C)
Lead: G3 - D5 (Gb below middle C to D above high C)
Baritone: B3 - A4 (B below middle C to A above middle C)
Bass: D3 - G4 (D below middle C to G above middle C)
