Other practice tracks

Life on Mars

David Bowie/arr. Philip Lawson - Hal Leonard Corporation A cappella

This 1971 David Bowie song becomes a beautiful contemporary a cappella showpiece in this selection. The melody moves between voices, and long legato phrases create lovely harmonic motion while asking the question "Is there life on Mars?" From the JW Pepper catalogue.

Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World

(SATB Choir) - Arranged by Roger Emerson

Drawing inspiration from the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of this mashup, here is an arrangement of two of the most beautiful songs of all time. Songs of hope come together in this arrangement and create a positive atmosphere in your rehearsal space and your concert program.

Moon River

Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini/arr. Coates - Shawnee Press

Known to many as Audrey Hepburn's shining moment in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's," this gorgeous song, as arranged by John Coates, Jr., has become a classic for concert and show choirs. It is guaranteed to evoke warm memories of the days when Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini were one of the top songwriting teams.

Deep River

Deep River (Arr. B. Trant) · Brian Trant

"Deep River" is an anonymous African-American spiritual, popularized by Henry Burleigh in his 1916 collection Jubilee Songs of the USA.
"Deep River" has been sung in several films. The 1929 film Show Boat featured it mouthed by Laura La Plante to the singing of Eva Olivetti.[4] Paul Robeson famously sang it accompanied by male chorus in the 1940 movie The Proud Valley.[5] And in the 1983 blockbuster hit National Lampoon's Vacation it was sung by Chevy Chase.
