Summary of This Score
15 All-Time Standards is a choirbook designed to take a women's choir "around the world" in 80 measures, with a simple idea: to offer famous standards without male voices, while maintaining rich harmony and a full sound. The collection brings together immediately recognizable melodies from different countries and various styles: swing, soul, catchy grooves, as well as more lyrical ballads to work on line, legato, and balance of sections.
The arrangements, described as modern and charming, allow easy adaptation of the interpretation to the context: year-end concert, audition, event, thematic project "world music," or a more pop-oriented set. To reinforce the harmonic foundation, optional bass parts can be added (sung or played), which helps stabilize intonation and support rhythmic energy in groovier pieces.
Reading is facilitated by the presence of chord symbols, practical for accompaniment on piano, guitar, or with a small rhythm section, even with limited preparation. The collection notably highlights pop and evergreen classics capable of appealing to all audiences: "Eternal Flame," "Fields of Gold," "Oh Happy Day," "Jamaica Farewell," "Swanee River," etc., alternating discreetly accompanied versions and more a cappella passages.
Finally, the CD complements the book with numerous backing tracks, ideal for dynamic performances, autonomous rehearsals, or shows where a "stage" sound is desired without engaging additional instrumentalists.
