for SABar and piano, with opt. bass and drum kitThis is a funky arrangement of Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' with an English text by Henry van Dyke. Milloy jazzes up the well-known melody by arranging it in 12/8 time and adding syncopation, while supporting it with a groovy piano accompaniment and optional bass part (available at the back of the leaflet). Originally published in Popular Voiceworks 2.OUP's series for three-part mixed voices, or SABar, serves choirs of all shapes and sizes across a broad spectrum of styles. Defined by scoring rather than genre or season, the series features practical vocal ranges, clearly presented scores, simple and supportive piano accompaniments, and appealing and inclusive texts - all underpinning quality Oxford repertoire selected specially to meet the needs of community, school, and church choirs.
