Product Description
Words and Music by Robert Hazard. Arranged in 2013 by Boo de Bruin (nee Lewis). 9 pages for Sweet Adelines (ladies' barbershop) chorus or girls' choir.
Girls just want to have fun was Cyndi Lauper's break through single as a solo artist, reaching number one in ten countries including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. It is a feminist reimagining of the 1979 song by Robert Hazard. It received Grammy nominations for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year.
This arrangement was written for a chorus of young women, and as such the ranges are relatively narrow.
Vocal ranges are:
Soprano 1: Eb4 - F#5 (Eb above middle C to F# above high C)
Soprano 2: Bb3 - E5 (Bb below middle C to E above high C)
Alto 1: B3 - B4 (B below middle C to B above middle C)
Alto 2: F3 - G4 (F below middle C to G above middle C)
For four bars in the penultimate chorus, there is one split in the parts, to allow for the "girls they wanna, wanna have fun" call back. In a quartet, this line could be omitted.
