By Mama Cass Elliot. Composed by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Arranged by LABBS Music Category. A Cappella. Octavo. 6 pages. LABBS - Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers #4580047. Published by LABBS - Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (A0.892463).An uplifting song arranged by members of the LABBS Music Judging Category in 4 part close harmony transposed for men's voicings, in the barbershop style (internal melody). Sticking fairly close to the original, the arrangement features solos of each voicepart on the melody, and rousing homophonic choruses. The standard tag builds to a satisfying climax, with an optional extended tag that sends it through the roof!
The arrangement is suitable for most male barbershop choruses and quartets as a fun, fairly quick learn for performance repertoire. Each voicepart is well within the standard barbershop ranges of most arrangements. Note: if you are unfamiliar with the scoring of male barbershop music, be aware the treble clef should be sung an octave lower than written, as designated by the 8 below the clef.
This arrangement is not suitable for use in barbershop contests.
This song and arrangement would also be a great choice for other genres of male choirs and a cappella quartets or ensembles, including high school / college / secondary school choirs wanting to try the barbershop style. It is a fun and modern song containing a strong and poignant message about not bending to peer pressure and being your own person and remaining true to yourself.
