Various Arrangers : Girls Rule!Let's hear it for the girls! "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now" - From the musical Hairspray this fun arrangement offers a light-hearted look at every teenage girl's dreams. Easily learned and offering several solo/small group opportunities, this is a great choice for an SSA feature. "I Enjoy Being a Girl" - SSA groups will have a blast with this classic Rodgers & Hammerstein song from Flower Drum Song that extols a girl's life - a bit campy, and lots of fun! "I'm a Woman" - Here's a gutsy girls' tune that was a hit for Maria Muldaur in 1975 and a showstopper in the Broadway musical Smokey Joe's Cafe. "When I Am Woman" - This work is a celebration of the journey towards womanhood with its joys, mysteries and possibilities. Spirited ascending melodies, dance-like rhythms and vocal percussive sounds unfold into a structured improvisation wherein the members of the choir whisper their aspirations for the future, together forming a sea of sonic dreams. "A Girl's Night Out" - Show a little attitude with this sassy 1984 hit by The Judds. Lots of fun for SSA groups of all ages! "Girl Talk" - With lyrics that throwback to an earlier pre-feminist era, this Neal Hefti/Bobby Troup song will be sung by today's women with an ironic tone in this bluesy, swingy setting. Accessible to beginning SSA jazz ensembles, your group will build great performance skills.
