What’ll I Do (SSAB)

This a cappella arrangement of Irving Berlin’s hauntingly beautiful ballad “What’ll I Do” challenges singers with sensitive unisons and octaves, moments of two-, three-, and four-part harmony with strong voice leading, and delivery of a poignant lyric. Rubato sections throughout provide the opportunity to teach flexible ensemble phrasing and there is a short (four measure) soprano solo towards the end. This could function as a quick learn for advanced groups or a more substantial challenge for beginning ensembles.

Purchase of this arrangement includes: a vocal score and an mp3 of the demo recording. Part tracks, rehearsal tracks, re-voiced options, and different instrumentation can be made available upon request.
