Colorful balloons with a fun factor
Mixed choirs will have a lot of fun with these arranged movie hits from the early days of sound film up to the fifties.
Uli Führe is widely known, among other things for his outstanding voice training canons, which have been published in volumes such as Vocal musicals 1+2 are collected and can enrich every singing session. Bosse-Verlag has now published the collection Buy yourself a colorful balloon with hits from films from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. What happens today online through providers such as Vimeo or YouTube happened from the 1930s with the linking of image and sound in films: an enormous popularization.
The collection ranges from the lascivious waltz I am from head to toe about the snappy marching song A friend, a good friend to the nonchalant foxtrot Bel ami. Uli Führe does justice to the different film scores in a very sensitive way, working out their characteristics and transforming them into easily feasible and appealing movements for mixed choir (SATB) without voice parts. A real enrichment for this type of repertoire with a great fun factor for the choirs.
Buy yourself a colorful balloon. Pop songs from films of the 30s, 40s and 50s, arranged for SATB choir by Uli Führe BE 921, € 17.50, Bosse Verlag, Kassel
