This “quasi” jazz piece is an original of mine, and a nod to Ward Swingle’s classic Swingle Singers sound. The 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.
