Wonder3(Royalty Free Music)

Blossom Dearie was one of the few singers to record this swinging, fun jazz tune, and this arrangement borrows the vibe and harmony of her performance while expanding and opening up the possibilities for the ensemble vocal jazz setting. A few sneaky quotes in the backgrounds and soli/shout sections provide some Easter eggs for your audience (and singers), and solo space is included for improvising singers or players.

Where Are We?

KMVJ edition demo performed by Julia Dollison and Kerry Marsh. 

Sam Robson, the UK's phenomenal young arranger and a member of an elite class of YouTube's vocal harmony specialists that includes Jacob Collier and Accent, has made his Earth-shatteringly gorgeous arrangement of "One Day I'll Fly Away" available now through KerryMarsh.com. Dramatically paced and driving to a powerful finish, the arrangement is sure to give your audience goosebumps and some tears. Edited for publication by Kerry Marsh, this version has a more reachable bass range than Robson's original recording, although it still lands on a D-flat in one spot, and uses an E-flat in another. The notation is laid out such that a persistent melody part often weaves in between the other SSA parts, helping choirs to clarify the melody in this thick-textured writing. Dollison and Marsh have rerecorded the arrangement with these and a few other practical edits, also allowing for Part Tracks and Minus-One tracks.

One Day I'll Fly Away, arr. Sam Robson - KMVJ Demo

This clockwork-style Imogen Heap composition works perfectly in the ensemble vocal jazz world, and features an alto soloist. The vocal parts spent time as both pointillistic and sustained pad accompaniment to the solo, and they also have a few strong moments of ensemble lyrics in the chorus and bridge sections. This classic chart from our catalog has been given a new edition in 2020, with improved notation clarity and newly available SkyTracks Mixer and other tracks.

Headlock (SSAATBaB - L3.5) - KerryMarsh.com Demo

A Ben Folds classic...a moving ballad, written simply and for a broad range of choral groups. 

The Luckiest (SAB - L2) - KerryMarsh.com Demo

NEW FOR FALL 2012! - A deep cut from The Police's "Synchronicity," this tune grooves hard in 12/8 and features a tenor or alto who can hang with the Sting thing.  The lyric is a metaphor for political corruption...not actually about killing people directly.  You might want to mention that in your concert. :)

Murder By Numbers

Simon Åkesson's arrangement of the Whitney Houston hit from her 1985 debut album, as sung by the international aca super-group Accent is edited here to work beautifully for mixed vocal jazz ensembles.  This demo recording performed by Julia Dollison and Kerry Marsh.

Low notes below low E-flat are all written with an optional upper octave with alternate notes for the baritone to compensate, when needed.

All At Once (SSATBaB - L4) - KerryMarsh.com Demo

Whisper Your Name (SSATB - L4)

An obscure but super interesting tune by the British electronic group Zero 7.  Grooving in 12/8 and full of surprises!

Mr McGee

This arrangement of the Jimmy Rushing blues for the Count Basie Band was also inspired by the Mel Torme version, and it was commissioned by Mt. San Antonio College's "Singcopation".  Swinging, with room for improv, and written as both a Level 4 and Level 5 chart...your choice.  The chart package will come with both options and both demos and sets of Part Tracks.

Sent For You Yesterday

The Katy Perry hit from the Summer of 2012 is set with thick voicings and a driving pop groove, with just a touch of jazz reharmonization to add an element of surprise.

Wide Awake (SSATBaB L4) - KerryMarsh.com Demo

A choral/vocal jazz arrangement and adaptation of Bon Iver's haunting solo looping/autotune/vocoder piece. 

Woods (SSAATTBaB - L4) - KerryMarsh.com Demo

Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing, arr. Marsh

Don't Be On the Outside, arr. Marsh

Adapted from Julia Dollison's solo arrangement, featuring a bit of mixed meter and a heavy dose of dark reharmonization, treating the lyric with irony. A development section brings this arrangement into a modulation, setting a new scene for the head-out. Features a female lyric soloist as well as space for improv.

I'm Old Fashioned - (SSATB Lv5)

The pop hit from Five For Fighting gets a the vocal jazz treatment here, with varying grooves, reharmonization, and solos for both male and female singers. The arrangement builds energy throughout before making a soft landing in the last few bars.

100 Years (SSATBaB - L3.5) - KerryMarsh.com Demo

The mind-blowing a capella quintet Pentatonix ("The Sing Off") arranged this already super-cool Imogen Heap tune from "Ellipse", and my job here was to thicken it up and make a few tweaks that helped it fit a larger vocal jazz ensemble.  There's some added complexity, compared to their version, but the chart retains their futuristic spirit and nuance.

Ah-ha (SSAATBaB - L4) - KerryMarsh.com Demo
