Chorus Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1847921
Composed by Bjork Gudmundsdottir. Arranged by Marjorie Halloran. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Folk, New Age, Pop, Singer/Songwriter. 54 pages. Marjorie Halloran Music #1407567. Published by Marjorie Halloran Music (A0.1847921).I was initially drawn to "Venus as a Boy" because of how beautiful a song it is. Björk's use of major 7th chords and the leading tone in the melody give this lovely uplifting feeling to the song, and even though the subject matter might feel a little adult to some, it's also a very pure expression of a loving and intimate relationship. I wanted to keep Björk's original sultry-yet-tender vibe, but I also wanted to expand upon her harmonies a bit, which is most evident in the beginning and ending chorale sections. Björk also used a lot of Bollywood-inspired instrumentation in the single release of "Venus", which I really loved and wanted to keep, and I encourage the audience to listen for that influence in the string parts. I had fun with incorporating gibberish in the arrangement as well, which Björk describes as "sounds that feel good to sing", so if the audience can’t figure out what the choir is saying— it’s on purpose! Inversion Ensemble and Density512 present THE BJÖRK SONGBOOK featuring arrangements based on the music of visionary Icelandic artist Björk.
