Review: Traditional choirs, folk ensembles or any other group of singers will enjoy this collection of songs from the Republic of Georgia selected, notated and recorded by Clayton Parr and Carl Linich. Like folk songs from the rest of the world, Georgian songs are traditionally connected with events of daily life - work songs, laments, lullabies, songs about historical events or figures, ritual songs, healing songs, traveling songs, comic songs, and dance songs. Table songs are a particularly important genre, and the tradition of the supra (ritual banquet), with elaborate toasts and songs, occupies a central position in Georgian traditional culture. Traditionally, these songs are in three polyphonic voice parts, and the authors have provided many pedagogical tools for learning: recordings, pronunciation guides, lyric sheets, song backgrounds and recordings. Includes 18 songs, CD includes song demos, part-Learning tracks available online.

Review: The highly successful French movie Les Choristes (The Chorus) was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and "Vois sur ton chemin (See Upon Your Path)' was nominated for Best Original Song with the musical theme reoccurs throughout the movie and expresses the central image of the story: Joys of childhood, too quickly forgotten erased. A golden light shines steadily at the very end of the path. "Caresse sur l'ocean" is an enchanting melody with wonderful interwoven harmony, this expressive song paints an evocative image of a bird aloft on the wind, traveling far distances, from snowy far-off lands to castles in Spain. "Cerf-volant " is a buoyant song that beautifully depicts the image of a kite flying high in the air implying a child's imaginative wishes and dreams. "Lueur d'ete" dramatically portray the emotions, dreams and fears of the children in the story. Images of summer, like our childhood memories, remain always in our heart. Includes the original French and English lyrics.

Review: It has been said that you can see Buenos Aires while listening to Astor Piazzolla's music. This is one of his talents that sets him apart from other composers. Piazzolla made a revolution with the tango, which created many problems for him in his country (traditionalists did not accept his music as tango). But everybody finally accepted his changes because his music put the Argentine dance, the tango, at the highest level. Gentle tango rhythms and modern harmonies infuse these folk-like tunes.

Sweet Sweet Honey!
Review: Now in it's fourth decade, the renowned female African-American a cappella group Sweet Honey in the Rock shows off a new four-voice line-up that continues it's ongoing evolution. Their first first studio recording in nine years, #LoveInEvolution's breathtaking layers of voices often carry a strong sense of social and ecological urgency on original songs such as "Second Line Blues," which challenges the current eruption of racial violence, and "Oh, Sankofa," an angry summation of the last century of historical injustice against blacks. But there are also uplifting songs of life's positives ("This Place Inside Where I Can Rest," "A Prayer for the World: Song 23," and the delightful single "IDK, But I'm LOL") and rearranged traditional and cover songs relevant to the CD's theme of improving individual and global existence while enduring the strains of daily life. Now in their 42nd year, Sweet Honey in the Rock has toured from Australia to Zimbabwe, performed in the White House at the request of President and First Lady Obama, accrued numerous honors, and established itself as an inspiring, empowering musical force worldwide.

Review: "Wonderful Christmastime" is a typical melodic Paul McCartney number composed for the holiday season. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" evokes Mariah Carey or, for devotees of the film Love Actually, the adolescent Olivia Olson. "Santa Baby" is Eartha Kitt's Christmas wish list from 1953 while "Little Saint Nick" is the Beach Boy's homage to Santa's sled. Finally and gloriously come the Pogue's sublime piece of musical domestic rivalry "Fairytale Of New York". All are expertly arranged for SSA choir with piano accompaniment and range from easy to intermediate level. This mix of fun and mischievous Christmas songs will put a smile on the faces of choirs and audiences alike.

What Chance Have I With Love?
Review: This highly-awaited release captures the Artistic License joy we've all seen in their live shows and lets you bring it home with you. This rising quartet has one of the most listenable sounds around and their attention to music detail is refreshing. It features lots of fresh arrangements by some of the very best young arrangers in the Society and the foursome treats each song like it's a gem. One of the neat things about this album is that each song is unique - it's not more and more of the same. Songs that stand out include: Sixteen Tons, where bass Jason Dyer lays down the law; Let's Just Stay In, a newish jazz tune that just says "comfortable love" all over it, I Can Only Imagine, where tenor Todd Kidder raises the (very high) roof; Everybody Wants to be a Cat, where the quartet combines Disney and barbershop and somehow turns it into an outrageous, swingin' party; and the closing Parting Glass, a traditional Irish tune that gets a lovely and thoughtful treatment. This is a very engaging group and this CD is a great addition to any a cappella lover's collection.
Songlist: It's a Grand Night for Singing, Sixteen Tons, Lets Just Stay In, Isn't This A Lovely Day (To Be Caught in the Rain), Looking at You, All I Need Is The Girl, Gospel Medley, The Very Thought of You, What Chance Have I With Love?, I Can Only Imagine, I'm Yours, Everybody Wants To Be A Cat, The Parting Glass

Review: "Hallelujah" - This well-crafted a cappella arrangement emphasizes the plaintive, haunting song written by Leonard Cohen, and alternates between a four-part texture and more fully voiced chords. Mesmerizing! "Hawaii Five-O Theme" - It's the instantly recognized theme from the incredibly popular TV show, now familiar to a new generation of fans in the 2010 version of the series. A great a cappella showcase for pop, jazz and show choirs, your singers will build performance skills and have fun in the process! "Skyfall" - The hit single by Adele from the motion picture Skyfall has been creatively arranged by J.A.C Redford, the orchestrator of the film. Using vocal percussion and divisi vocal parts, J.A.C. has created a setting that is perfect for jazz and show choirs as well as concert choirs. "Waiting on the World to Change" - John Mayer's groovy, soulful anthem in full, 5-part a cappella harmony with solo (duet on the choruses). Light reggae groove/feel woven among pop harmonies above a playful bass line. Vocal percussion optional.
Songlist: Hallelujah, Hawaii Five-O Theme, Skyfall, Waiting on the World to Change
Review: "Autumn Leaves" - A fresh take on a classic standard with intricate, yet accessible jazz harmonies and effortless voice leading. The vocals sing like falling and drifting leaves throughout the piece. A standout ballad for your jazz, show, or concert choir! "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?" - What a fun and smart arrangement of this popular song originally penned by Hughie Cannon! A standard for jazz and Dixieland bands, the fun of this piece is now captured in a new SSAA voicing for women. This gem is great for concert and show choirs. "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring" - Originally popularized by the Four Freshmen, this iconic arrangement of the Bobby Troup song helped pave the way for a cappella vocal jazz as well as influencing the singing style of the Beach Boys. "The Nearness of You" - One of the greatest songs of all time, Hoagy Carmichael's classic romantic ballad shimmers in a rich a cappella setting highlighted by lush harmonies and gently arched phrasing in this superb arrangement.
Songlist: Autumn Leaves, Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?, Their Hearts Were Full of Spring, The Nearness of You
Review: It doesn't get more Americana than singing a Stephen Foster song in the close harmony barbershop style! From the Barbershop Society themselves these arrangements are as timeless as the songs themselves.
Songlist: Camptown Races, Gentle Annie, If You've Only Got A Moustache
