Learning Tracks Women’s

Can’t Buy Me Love

Contest Uptunes, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Love & Weddings, Master List, Rock & Pop, Shows & Glows, Women's Room,

This classic from the Fab Four is not only lively and wise, it is contestable too (though perhaps not for SAI). But whether for contest or show, this song is a sure winner. “Everybody tells me so!” Tim Waurick’s tracks for women are purely great, and he now has them for men too.  Continue reading Can’t Buy Me Love →

For Good (two soloists)

Broadway, Inspirational & Religious, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Sheet Music Plus, Shows & Glows, Solos, Women's Room

From the musical Wicked, this song features a heartfelt, intense dialogue between witches Elphaba and Glinda. If your group has two good soloists with medium to high voices, this is the ticket for you. This arrangement, and the sentiments of the song, work just fine for men as well. Tracks for the women’s version have been recorded by Shawn Thomas.  Continue reading For Good (two soloists) →

Hit the Road, Jack

Comedy & Novelty, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Mixed, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Mixed Voices, Other Lands, Sheet Music Plus, Shows & Glows, Women's Room,

This emphatic tune is arranged for four-part women’s voices with male solo. The fellow needs to be either a bass or a low baritone—low in more than one sense of the word? The arrangement is also available in German. That title translates as “Come, Drink Up, Jack.” Fun, eh?

I Only Have Eyes for You

Contest Ballads, Learning Tracks Women's, Love & Weddings, Master List, Mixed Voices, Rock & Pop, Sheet Music Plus, Shows & Glows, Solos, Women's Room, Youth in Harmony

This popular classic is now available in two versions. One has the shimmering feel of the rock ‘n’ roll hit, while the other is a contestable tempo ballad as sung by Metropolis. The latter can be sung either straight or, as the quartet did it, humorously.  Continue reading I Only Have Eyes for You →

I’ll Never Say “Never Again” Again

Contest Swing & Easy Beat, Contest Uptunes, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Love & Weddings, Master List, Women's Room

A lively swing number, this contestable tune was a hit for SAI medalist ReMix for the women and BHS medalist Metropolis for the men. We can’t really be sure about love, can we? Please specify whether you would like to preview the original ReMix version or Mo Field’s revision with intro by Jay Giallombardo—or both! Continue reading I’ll Never Say “Never Again” Again →

If I Can Dream

Contest Ballads, Inspirational & Religious, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Rock & Pop

If you are not familiar with this song, do yourself a favor and find a clip of Elvis Presley singing it. This plaintive plea drives and drives and drives, as 2014 international champ Musical Island Boys showed us so well. In 2017 this song became a LABBS “polecat” number, sung by all of their ladies.

Second Star to the Right

Contest Ballads, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Women's Room

A beautiful ballad from the animated film Peter Pan, this song was debuted at the 2009 Anaheim International contest by The Alliance. Tim Waurick has recorded fine learning tracks for both men and women. While this piece stands alone just fine, it would make a lovely companion to a Peter Pan or pirate medley in contest.  Continue reading Second Star to the Right →

Smile

Contest Ballads, Inspirational & Religious, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Openers & Closers, Shows & Glows, Women's Room

As sung by The New Tradition, Nightlife, Ringmasters and many other groups, this piece is really powerful. You could close your shows with it or sing it in just about any other position. This arrangement is my all-time favorite. It works well for BHS, HI, etc. contests, but I am not sure about SAI. Continue reading Smile →

Something Inside So Strong

Inspirational & Religious, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Mixed Voices, Shows & Glows, Women's Room

Arranged to help the Dutch Association of Barbershop Singers (DABS) celebrate its 20th anniversary, this song is as strong as it gets. It has been used for protest and inspiration by a wide variety of oppressed groups, though anyone can relate to its powerful, uplifting message. A mixed version is now available. Continue reading Something Inside So Strong →

Sound Celebration

Gentry's Gems: Singing About Singing, Inspirational & Religious, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Mixed Voices, Shows & Glows, Solos, Women's Room

I wrote and arranged this energetic song honoring music and other sounds of life around us. The men’s version of this arrangement is published by the BHS. There is now an SATB version for YMIH/YWIH singers, as well one for women’s voices.  Continue reading Sound Celebration →

Swinging on a Star

Comedy & Novelty, Contest Swing & Easy Beat, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Mixed Voices, Seniors, Shows & Glows, Women's Room, Youth in Harmony

Great fun for singers and audiences alike, this lively tune is available in both contest and show versions. It is easily one of my most popular charts. Power Play sang it with much success, and it works just fine for the ladies as well.  Continue reading Swinging on a Star →
