So there's a new couple of videos on the channel tonight. In August 2019 Sara Bareilles released an EP of songs that were lost from the musical Waitress before it opened. One of those songs Without a Believer was also released in video form by Jeremy Jordan to coincide with the release. We've put together accompaniments in both Sara's key and Jeremy's key and both are now live on YouTube.
Jeremy Jordan Version - in the key of D Major.
Sara Bareilles Version - in the key of Gb/F# Major
At present we have two of the tracks from The Greatest Showman on the YouTube channel and one of those has it's own choral arrangement which you can perform. Never Enough is on the YouTube channel as arrangements in three different keys, with A Million Dreams having been transcribed into a SATB arrangement that works with the original track. The songs are written by award winning writers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
Never Enough (Original Key)
Never Enough (Alto Key)
Never Enough (Male Key)
A Million Dreams : Sheet Music/Choral Arrangement
Tim has recently been allowed to release his transcriptions for some of the songs from Tina Fey's Broadway musical Mean Girls. The songs for the show are written by Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin and Tim has created quite a few of the tracks for the You Tube Channel which have been quite popular over the last year. Recently he has been able to create the transcriptions for these arrangements and release them through sheet music plus.
The songs currently available are :
I'd Rather Be Me Sheet Music
What's Wrong With Me Sheet Music
Someone Gets Hurt (Original Key) Sheet Music
Someone Gets Hurt (Alto Key) Sheet Music
Someone Gets Hurt (Tenor Key) Sheet Music
This morning I've loaded a YouTube video of the song Lost in the Wilderness from Children of Eden.
It is part of the album One For The Lads and has always been one of my favourite songs from the show.
Check out the video here
That's now the 212th video on the channel since I started the channel in March of last year.
Recently I produced another track for the YouTube Channel. This time the song Waving Through a Window from the musical Dear Evan Hansen.
The show was written by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul and opened on Broadway in December of 2016. On the original cast recording the song was recorded by Ben Platt.
I've created three versions for the YouTube channel so hopefully you'll find a version that suits.
The original key (as sung by Ben Platt) is in A Major.
This makes the high notes of the song quite high (a top Bb), so I did a lower version for guys as well which may be more appropriate if your voice doesn't quite get up to the highest points of the song, That version is in F#
Also I know that many ladies appreciate this song so I have also done a 'female' key of Db, this gives a high note of D so hopefully this will be suitable for many mezzos/sopranos that would like to sing the song.
I hope you find one of these suitable for your needs. Alto voices may well find that the original key will work more preferably for you.
