Beatles Medley (Men, Women) + B

The Fourth of July Parade (Men) + B
...Osterling, Naumann
Melody derived from Eric Osterling's "Bandology," a big-time, up-tempo march familiar to many who've played in a marching band. Singers need range and stamina.
If I Had A Million Dollars (Men) C
...Barenaked Ladies
From "The Barenaked Ladies'" hit album, "Gordon," This is a fun tune with some dry, clever wit. Good afterglow material.
I'll Close My Eyes (Men, Women) + B
....Buddy Kaye, Billy Reid
Exquisite melody and lyrics. The tag is pretty cool!
It Was Almost Like A Song (Men) + B
...Hal David, Archie Jordan
1977-78 CMA song of the year. Big hit for Ronnie Milsap. Arranged for competition. Lead needs a big range.
The Joint Is Jumping (Men) + B
...Razaf, Johnson & Waller
As sung by, and currently exclusive to "Magnum," LO'L District 2nd place quartet, 2005.
Loves Me Like A Rock (Men) + A
...Paul Simon
Requires a good, flexible quartet. The singers need range and stamina.
Luck Be A Lady (Men, Women) + A
...Loesser
This chart really cooks! From "Guys & Dolls." A driving, latin-beat version. Also features bass and tenor melodies. Don't let all the key changes frighten you... it all makes perfect sense if you use the learning tape.
Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel) (Men, Women, SATB/Piano) + B
...Billy Joel
As sung by "Nightwatch." Billy wrote this for his daughter. Wonderful, gently rocking ballad.
Rat Pack Medley (Women) + A

Seaside Rendezvous (Mixed Quartet) + B
...Freddy Mercury, adapted from a Paul Hart SSATBB arrangement as sung by the "King's Singers"
As sung by, and currently exclusive to "Heart To Heart." Has to be the most fun arrangement I've done. Kazoo's, banjos, campy tune and fun lyrics make for a great novelty piece.
Sh-Boom (Men) + C
...Keyes, Feaster, Feaster, McCrae & Edwards
As sung by "Nightwatch." "The Crewcuts" 50's classic.
Sooner Or Later (Men, Women) + B
...Gilbert & Wolcott
As sung by "Contagious," 2003 Sweet Adelines Int'l 7th place quartet. Very catchy swing tune from Disney's "Song of the South."
That Lonesome Road (Men) + C
...Taylor and Grolnick
Based on the "King's Singers" treatment of this haunting James Taylor Ballad.
Thriller (Women) + B
...Temperton

Touch Me In The Morning (Women) + B
...Miller & Masser
As sung by "All The Rage," SAI Region 22 2nd place quartet, 2002. Diana Ross' classic. Lots of bells and whistles in this arrangement. All four parts get to shine.

...Weiss & Thiel
Who doesn't love Louis? A little different harmonic treatment in this chart.

As sung by "Outrageous," 2002 SAI Region 22 Quartet Champion. Contemporary driving rock ballad.
You Stepped Out Of A Dream (Men, Women) + B
