Take a “Journey to the Past!” Wednesday, November 01, 2017
recommended by Jen Sper and Alissa Ruth, School Choral Music Specialists
Based on the 1997 film, the Broadway musical “Anastasia” transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.
Now available for choir, these new arrangements feel both warmly nostalgic and creatively fresh:
Journey to the Past arr. Audrey Snyder
An uplifting and powerful arrangement, featuring skillful blending of original and new music.
Once Upon a December arr. Audrey Snyder
A beautiful and elegant arrangement of the tender music box song. A perfect “last minute” addition to your December concert!
