Chorus Choir (TTBB) - Level 4 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1847738
Composed by Linda Perry. Arranged by James Rohn. This edition: pdf. 21st Century, A Cappella, Contemporary. 5 pages. James Rohn #1407380. Published by James Rohn (A0.1847738).This custom four-part arrangement of "What’s Up?" (originally by 4 Non Blondes, written by Linda Perry) reimagines the 90s anthemic rock hit as a soulful, resonant powerhouse for the male voice. Transposed to A Major, this setting allows the quartet or chorus to exploit the "bright" resonance of the key while keeping the iconic "Hey-ey-ey" hooks in a comfortable yet powerful range for the Tenor and Lead.
Arrangement Highlights
The "Linda Perry" Solo: The Lead takes center stage with a raw, bluesy delivery. The arrangement provides "room to breathe" in the first verse, using long, staggering bell-tones (A, Bm, D, A) to create a sense of vast space.
The Iconic Hook: The "Hey-ey-ey" section is voiced in tight, stacked harmonies. In A Major, the Tenor hits a soaring $E4$ or $Fsharp 4$, providing that "shout-from-the-rooftops" energy that defines the song.
Soulful Modulation/Turnaround: While the song is a simple three-chord loop, the arrangement uses secondary dominants and added 9ths (like the A9 and Dmaj9 textures) to keep the repetitive structure feeling fresh and building in intensity.
