for 3 Vocal Soloists, 2-Part Treble Choir, SATB Choir and Piano An intergenerational choral arrangement of the poignant Taylor Swift song. Complete (MIDI rendition): Duration: 4:45Difficulty: Easy-IntermediateLanguage: EnglishMinimum Voices: 9 (optimal 25-100) Song by Taylor SwiftArranged by Chappell Kingsland Commissioned by the Arvada Chorale (John Hubert, Artistic Director) and the Colorado Children's Chorale (Emily Crile, Artistic Director) Wild Beautiful Choral Series (WBCS-006). Digital download; please purchase one copy for each singer. Suitable for youth choirs, church choirs and community choirs. This is one of Taylor Swift’s most poignant and moving songs – and that’s saying a lot. A unique feature of this arrangement is the use of soloists from different generations: the Grandmother sings the first verse (about a young child), the Father sings the second verse (about a rebellious teenager), and the Daughter sings the third verse (facing her new responsibilities as a young adult). A youth choir and a mixed choir provide rich harmonies in an intergenerational collaboration, while the piano part ranges from delicate high notes to impassioned urgency. A heartfelt meditation on growing up and the importance of family connections.
