Chorus Choir (TTBB) - Level 2 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1851413
By Glen Campbell. By Jimmy Webb. Arranged by James Rohn. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, A Cappella, Barbershop. 3 pages. James Rohn #1411059. Published by James Rohn (A0.1851413).This arrangement of Jimmy Webb’s masterpiece, famously immortalized by Glen Campbell, brings a lush, cinematic texture to the TTBB landscape. Set in the warm, resonant Key of F Major, this version balances the "lonesome" character of the lyrics with the rich harmonic potential of male voices.
Arrangement Features
Vocal Texture: This setting shifts between expansive homophonic textures (perfect for a full choir) and intimate, solo-driven passages (ideal for a quartet).
The "Telegraph" Motif: The iconic "Morse code" synth line from the original is reimagined as a rhythmic vocal ostinato in the Baritone and Bass parts, providing a steady, driving pulse beneath the sweeping melody.
Harmonic Language: While remaining faithful to the original’s yearning quality, this arrangement utilizes jazz-influenced 7th and 9th chords to heighten the emotional weight of the "searching" theme.
The Bridge: The arrangement builds to a powerful climax at "And I need you more than want you," utilizing the full dynamic range of the TTBB ensemble before tapering off into a haunting, ethereal coda.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
