Women’s Room

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 →

Mein Bruder macht im Tonfilm die Geräusche

Comedy & Novelty, Contest Uptunes, Master List, Shows & Glows, Women's Room

Partly in English and partly in German, this song is, well . . . what it is, is . . . different—and great fun! The English title is “My Brother Makes the Sound Effects for Movies.” The sounds included are a mix of vocal, electronic and mechanical effects. And the piece is contestable too. It could be redone for your group to be all in one language or the other.

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, 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.  Continue reading Something Inside So Strong →
