“The Sing-Off†Finale Airs Tonight! Monday, December 20, 2010
If you’ve been watching NBC’s “The Sing-Off,” then you know that it’s an exciting time for choral music in America! We have already been seeing a renewed interest and participation in choirs in the last few years–thanks in part to shows like “Glee“–but “The Sing-Off” really celebrates high-quality, a cappella singing and arranging. (Yes, America’s interest is still limited to “pop choral,” but we’ve got to take it one step at a time!)
There are already some arrangements available from season 1 of “The Sing-Off” which aired December, 2009. Under Pressure originally performed by David Bowie and Queen, Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra, and U2‘s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For are all available in the same a cappella choral versions used on the show and arranged by Deke Sharon.
Some of the hits from this season are already available in a cappella or accompanied versions, but they may not match the EXACT versions seen on the show: 21 Guns, Apologize, Every Breath You Take, Haven’t Met You Yet, Hey Soul Sister, Home Sweet Home, I Wish, I’ve Got the Music in Me, The Longest Time, Love Shack, Mercy, Save the Last Dance for Me, That’s Life, This Love.
Check back here for updates on more choral music from “The Sing-Off,” (we’re hoping for “With a Little Help from My Friends” as seen below) and remember to watch tonight at 8 on NBC!
