Excellent for Choral Instruction
Kirby Shaw's TTBB arrangement of Billy Joel's 'And So It Goes' is a fantastic teaching tool. The F Major key is comfortable, and the voice leading is exceptionally clear, making it accessible for developing ensembles. Its moderate difficulty ensures students can tackle rhythm and part independence effectively, while the clean engraving supports focused learning. Highly recommended for school and community choirs.

Superb Vocal Harmony for A Cappella
For a vocal coach, this TTBB a cappella arrangement of 'And So It Goes' by Kirby Shaw is truly exemplary. The F Major setting provides a comfortable tessitura across all parts. The voice-leading is logical and intuitive, fostering excellent ensemble blend and independent singing. The rich a cappella texture, with its distinct yet supportive four parts, highlights the vocalists beautifully without needing accompaniment. A fantastic selection for male vocal groups.

Beautiful Arrangement of a Billy Joel Favorite!
As an adult learner, I absolutely loved diving into Billy Joel's 'And So It Goes' with this Kirby Shaw TTBB arrangement! It's so rewarding to sing this classic pop ballad. The F Major key feels natural, and the parts are crafted so beautifully that it sounds impressive without being overly challenging. It's a fantastic, relaxing piece to work on during the weekend and truly captures the emotion of the original.

And So It Goes is Billy Joel at his best
A lovely arrangement. We have already made a taped version of the arrangement. Let's hope we do honor to the composer and arranger.

Terrific Service
I am a member of an a cappella group and am always looking for sheet music. I recently discovered Sheet Music Plus and it is a great resource. They have a wide variety of music, and I can purchase small quantities at affordable rates. That way I don't have to make copies. Keep it up, guys!

Well written, accessible
This is a well crafted arrangement, not terribly difficult. No divisi to speak of but it stays in 4 parts throughout so well balanced sections are needed. The voice leading is very logical and easy to follow and will not overly tax less accomplished choruses, but it is not so overly simple that more accomplished ensembles wouldn't find a challenge or two, particularly in the phrasing/expression.

Very well written arrangement
As one would expect from Mr Shaw, this is a well-done arrangement of a rather lovely pop-song (and Billy Joel's personal favorite among his own creations). THe arrangement is very singable, effective, challenging enough to engage the attention of a high school or college men's group, but not out of the reach of inexperienced or amateur singers. If I were to offer a caveat it would be simply that 4 well balanced sections are needed, which may prove a challenge to many men's groups (where baritones are often abundant and tenors/basses less so), and of course, being a cappella, the group would have to be capable of maintaining pitch.
