Puttin’ On The Ritz

SATB & Accompaniment …

Recordings from Wendy, with her suggestions:

  • Use the lyrics sheet (here) only and listen. That way continuity will be easier.
  • Basses and tenors sound at pitch with the piano (I sing an octave higher to get you up to that range in your voice)
  • Please ignore any discrepancies in my accompaniment, lyrics, etc!!!

Accompaniment

We Are The Mainesong Choir

Composer – Wendy Rowlands, 2021

Practice tracks – the idea is to make your part promintent. So playing the track for your part you’ll hear your line in the center, picked out with a piano voicing, while the other parts are rendered in the voices of synthesized angels, off to the sides and softer.

For an overall view of the picece, the SATB track has all parts evenly balanced and in piano voicing.

The score for your part can be downloaded from the Scores Gallery

Various versions of one of The Beatles best

Because

John Lennon

Aah
Because the world is round
It turns me on
Because the world is round

Aah
Because the wind is high
It blows my mind
Because the wind is high

Aah
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue
It makes me cry
Because the sky is blue
Aah
