I'm a 30 year old musician from the UK. I arrange pieces for my choirs in Gloucestershire - mainly TTBB, with a few SATB too. My arrangements are, by necessity, at an accessible, intermediate standard. Tenor 1 will rarely go above F and Bass 2 rarely below G. I'm in the process of uploading more scores, it's a time consuming process! All scores can be transposed if a different key suits your choir better. A vocal score and set of rehearsal tracks is available for free with every purchase. Please contact me to arrange this.
MALE VOICE CHOIR (TTBB)
Deep Into The Ground (TTBB + piano)
From the musical production of Billy Elliot. This has a simple, evocative melody in which Billy's Father expresses his painfully sad life story, whilst still harbouring a deep, emotional connection to his community and home. The opening acapella solo is very effective, though can easily be given to a whole section if required. It's a simple arrangement where all parts get some melody and the tenors only go up to Eb. Your lower basses will enjoy the optional 8vb on the final line!

Druken Sailor (TTBB + piano)
A fun and hopefully humorous arrangement of the classic sea shanty! This is always crowd-pleaser.

Leave Her, Johnny (TTBB acapella)
A very simple arrangement of the popular sea shanty. It won't require much rehearsal and is great for social singing in pubs and at afterglows.

Sloop John B (TTBB + piano)
A spirited and entertaining take on the Beach Boys classic. This is a very accessible arrangement - B2 goes down to G and T1 goes briefly up to F. The melody is shared around and the piano gets some bluesy riffs towards the end. Also available as SATB + Piano.

Wild Mountain Thyme (TTBB + piano)
This beautiful Scottish folk melody is arranged creatively for male voice choir (TTBB). The idea is everyone gets something interesting to learn and sing!
Verse 1: optional solo. Verse 2: bass melody, tenor 'descant'. Verse 3: tenor melody, bass 'descant'. Verse 4: optional solo. The choruses are all the same =)

MIXED CHOIR (SATB)
Sloop John B (SATB + piano)
A spirited and entertaining take on the Beach Boys classic. This is a very accessible arrangement - the sopranos only go up to D and the tenors to E. It begins with a male solo, though this can easily be given to any section of the choir if desired. The melody is shared around and the piano gets some bluesy riffs towards the end. Also available as TTBB + Piano.
