Sing Pop A Cappella is a collection of a cappella arrangements of fantastic pop songs old and new, by renowned teacher, singer and director Gitika Partington . Her arrangements are used by choirs across the UK, and she emphasises that being able to read music is not necessary. Rewarding and enjoyable, Book Three continues her project to bring people together through the power of song. What's great about Gitika Partington 's Sing Pop A Cappella series is how she understands that to make great music or to sing a great song, it's not necessary to be able to sight-read. It may be useful, but she has learned that there are other ways to communicate music, namely through ear training,repetition and gesture. Her arrangements, five of which appear in this book, have enabled youth and community choirs to spring up across the country, making singing truly and universally accessible. Included in this book are wonderfully rich a cappella arrangements of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers, Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair, Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, Adele's Rolling In The Deep and a huge favourite, Sway (Quien Sera) . Vocal scores for these innovative and enjoyable arrangements are included in standard notation, although Partington recommends learning by ear as something equally beneficial. To aid with this, the accompanying download card includes five tracks of audio for each song. One features a full performance demonstration while the other four each focus on either soprano, alto, tenor or bass. The easy download of these tracks makes learning efficient and fun, as you are able to listen wherever you are. The great thing about a cappella singing is that it can be done anywhere, with limited resources, with members who don't necessarily have any musical training. Partington has created a book that can be used by a cappella choirs who love pop music that sounds great and will thrill audiences. Sing Pop A Cappella is not just a songbook, though, it also includes an extensive.

Do you need a perfect contemporary song for a vocal audition or performance? The Singer's Anthology of Pop/Rock Ballads gives you over 30 pop/rock classics to choose from––all transposed into appropriate keys and based on the original recorded hits. These songs fall into the new wave of standards that you are hearing more often at cabaret, concerts, and special occasions. These songs are most often identified with singer-songwriters, so this collection features the work of Billy Joel, Carole King, Adele, and others. These arrangements were custom made for this collection as authentic performing editions, friendly to both the singer and accompanist. Keys were carefully chosen, either preserving the original recorded key or transposing as near the original as possible to increase accessibility. This volume is presented in separate editions for Soprano/Alto and Tenor/Baritone, with some songs shared between the two, and others specific to the voice type. The Tenor/Baritone edition features 30 songs, including: Ain't No Sunshine • All by Myself • Bridge over Troubled Water • Crying • Dust in the Wind • Fields of Gold • Fire and Rain • Hallelujah • Imagine • Lean on Me • Mad World • New York State of Mind • Rocket Man (I Think It's Gonna Be a Long Long Time) • Thinking Out Loud • Time After Time • Unchained Melody • With or Without You • Wonderful Tonight • Your Song • and more.
