Kurzübersicht

(4 a cap) This \"quasi\" jazz piece is an original of mine, and a nod to Ward Swingle\'s classic Swingle Singers sound. Arrangement is lyric-less, using syllables instead of text. The piece starts with a traditional baroque style statement of the theme, which reoccurs throughout the piece. As things get going, the style shifts more and more toward a swing approach, and the harmonies and lines become more complex. This piece is a fun introduction to the Swingle Singers style of vocal jazz

America, The Beautiful

(4 a cap) Unlike most hyper patriotic, \"rah rah\" arrangements of this song, this is a more contemplative, introspective version of the classic ode to American freedom and liberty - reflecting the original tenor of democracy (as opposed to the distorted \"democracy\" of the previous \"regime\" - don\'t get me started!). This arrangement incorporates some contemporary harmony, but still remains true to the songs classic sensibilities. This chart works well with both small and larger ensembles

Love psalm

(4 a cap) This an original composition which Darmon describe as a \"secular hymn.\" He wrote this for the 2008 Illinois All-State Vocal Jazz Ensemble.

It is an introspective piece, using a simple melody with harmonic interest and development. This medium level \"mood\" piece suits both small and large ensembles

That Ever I Saw

(4-6 a cap) This a cappella composition is a song I wrote in 1999 as a wedding gift to Darmon's wife. Text is an anonymous text, which lauds the fine attributes of a young lady. It seemed an appropriate text for my wedding day, however, the text is not wedding specific. This mood piece is written with a classical choir in mind, but contains contemporary harmonic colors along with traditional melodic lines. This piece works well with both small and large ensembles

Silent night

(4 a cap, Weihn) traditional Christmas classic is updated with a hint of contemporary harmony, but still maintains it\'s historic elegance and mood. Arranged for New York Voices, this version works equally well with a large ensemble. The song is sung twice - first in German and then in English. This arrangement is quite easy and quite brief, but is still challenging enough to give your choir a nice workout.
