Various Arrangers : Songs for the Cowgirls

Here's some songs for the cowgirls. A fun theme for a set. "Cowboy Take Me Away" - A young girl dreams of romance and adventure in this heartfelt song by the Dixie Chicks that soared to the top of the country and pop charts! "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" - Originally recorded by Patsy Montana in 1935, this was the first country song by a female artist to sell more than one million records. Subsequently covered by Suzy Bogguss, the Dixie Chicks and LeAnn Rimes, it's a sweet and sassy novelty song that will showcase your SSA choirs. "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" - This 1961 hit captures all the mystery and excitement of a spectral stampede. This western classic will be tremendously fun to perform! "The Colorado Trail" - This gentle setting of a traditional cowboy song starts with one part and slowly builds to three-part harmony. Weep all ye little rains, wail, winds wail, all along...the Colorado trail. "Home on the Range" - Considered the anthem of the American West, this a cappella arrangement will show off your choirs tuning and blend, with unison lines blossoming into full harmonies for an accessible and impressive choral showcase. "The Streets of Laredo" - This novel treatment of the classic cowboy song is anything but the original. Completely reharmonized with extended phrases and a minor mode for the third verse will make it perfect for that concert or festival while still motivating with its contemporary harmonies.

Songlist: Cowboy Take Me Away, I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart, (Ghost) Riders in the Sky, The Colorado Trail, Home on the Range, The Streets of Laredo

Fred : Get Happy : 1 CD

Fred : Get Happy

They're Back! Get the wimmin and chillun off the streets. Gather them by the old CD player and enjoy! They alternate between simply beautiful songs and humor which frequently takes one by surprise because the singing is so good just before they go off the deep end. There are a couple of updated old Smothers Brothers gags, "Streets of Laredo" and "I Never Will Marry." There are a couple of wacky intros to otherwise wonderful songs. They spooflicate Steven Foster unmercifully in an verbal introduction and then sing a beautiful "Old Folks At Home." A melodic "I Don't Know Why" starts so beautifully and then...the vocal horns...

Songlist: I've Got Rhythm, Just the Way YouLook Tonight, The Streets of Laredo, Muskrat Ramble, Ya Gotta Know How to Dance Medley, Love's Old Sweet Song, I Never Will Marry, I Can't GiveYou Anything But Love/ LOVE Medley, I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, Old Folks at Home, Please Kind Sir, I Don't Know Why, Jungle Book Medley, Get Happy

If you were to assemble a Who's Who of choral conductors, teachers and singers of northwestern United States, you could just start with the Male Ensemble Northwest.
