Well-Voiced Choral Arrangement
As a vocal coach, I appreciate this 'intermediate' SATB arrangement of 'Operator.' The voice-leading in the 4-part texture is expertly crafted, making it straightforward to teach blend and balance. The Eb Major key is very singer-friendly. While a choral octavo, the included 'chord names' are invaluable for directors who need to provide a supportive piano accompaniment during rehearsals or performances.

Reliable Chart for Vocal Gigs
A solid, recognizable chart of 'Operator' for an SATB group. The 'intermediate' arrangement is effective and suitable for various events requiring a swing or adult contemporary sound. Crucially, 'chord names' are included, which is perfect for any accompanying rhythm section. At 8 pages, it's manageable for gigs, though always good to check page turns beforehand. Good addition to the book.

Singing Manhattan Transfer is a Blast!
So thrilled to find this 'Operator' sheet music by Manhattan Transfer! Our community choir loves singing this. The 'intermediate' difficulty is just right – it gives us a good challenge without being frustrating. It sounds so close to the original, making it incredibly fun and rewarding to rehearse. Singing the classic swing feel in Eb Major is pure enjoyment!

Excellent Choice for Intermediate Choirs
This Kirby Shaw SATB arrangement of 'Operator' is an excellent teaching tool. The 'intermediate' difficulty makes it challenging yet accessible for high school or community ensembles. The arrangement in Eb Major is vocally comfortable, and the clear engraving of the 4-part harmony is fantastic for teaching independent vocal lines and rhythmic precision. Highly recommend for developing a tight choral sound.

Operator - Close Harmony
This is just what I wanted for our quartet, which is just beginning to work on the close harmonies of Manhattan Transfer.
