Product Description
An uplifting, motivational and inspirational song arranged by members of the LABBS Music Judging Category in 4 part close harmony, transposed for men's voicings, in the barbershop style (internal melody). The sound clip is of the female voiced version, for information.
Very much inspired by the original song as sung by Des'ree in 1995, the arrangement features different textures of voicings and homorhythm, taking the singer and audience on the journey through levels of empathy and encouragment to feel empowered.
The arrangement is suitable for most male or mixed barbershop choruses and quartets as a popular choice for performance repertoire. Each voicepart is well within the standard barbershop ranges of most arrangements. Note: if you are unfamiliar with the scoring of male barbershop music, be aware the treble clef should be sung an octave lower than written, as designated by the 8 below the clef.
This arrangement is not suitable for use in barbershop contests.
This song and arrangement would also be a great choice for other genres of male or mixed choirs and a cappella quartets or ensembles, including high school / college / secondary school choirs wanting to try the barbershop style. It is a fun and modern song containing a strong message about living your life to the fullest and staying strong and empowered.
