Chorus Choir (TTBB) - Level 2 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1855183
By Carrie Hannah. Composed by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams. Arranged by James Rohn. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, A Cappella, Barbershop, Children, Contemporary A Cappella. 5 pages. James Rohn #1414788. Published by James Rohn (A0.1855183).This arrangement of The Rainbow Connection follows the classic "Contest Ballad" structure, moving from a simple, sincere beginning in A Major to a lush, expansive finale in Bb Major.
In a barbershop setting, this song relies on "secondary dominants" and "chromatic voicings" to capture the whimsical, slightly melancholic feel of the original while providing the "ring" that quartets love.
Phase 1: The Verse (A Major)
The song begins with a light, "arpeggiated" feel.
The Hook: The intro should feature the Tenor and Baritone (you) singing a bell-like "Doo-doo-doo" pattern that mimics the famous harp/banjo opening.
Phase 2: The Bridge (The "Searching" Section)
This is where the harmony gets sophisticated. As the lyrics move to "Who said that every wish...", the arrangement should "expand.".
