Regards to Broadway! Friday, February 16, 2018
recommended by Jen Sper and Alissa Ruth, School Choral and Classroom Music Specialists
Feature the performance skills of your upper elementary and middle school singers with a great Broadway revue! Vocal ranges are great for developing voices, and the choral writing works well on risers or on the theater stage.
Regards to Broadway! (A Musical Salute) arr. Sally K. Albrecht, Jay Althouse & Andy Beck
Suggested for Grades 4 and up
Performance time: about 35 minutes
Celebrate Broadway musicals past and present with this entertaining and educational revue. An optional narration (for up to 50 speakers) tells the incredible history and evolution of American musical theater and ties this 35-minute choir-focused presentation together with purpose and panache. Features a dozen hit show tunes from a century of blockbusters like Gypsy; Kiss Me Kate; My Fair Lady; Ragtime; and The Wiz; arranged exclusively for 2-part or 3-part mixed singers by Alfred Music’s top writers. Includes choreography notes throughout the 100% reproducible score as well as extracted singer pages on the live-orchestra Enhanced CD.
