Due to a new contract between SAI and major music publishers, all arrangements which have previously been cleared through SAI must be distributed by SAI headquarters, and additional arranger fees are not permitted for those arrangements. Instead, arrangers will obtain a percentage of the per copy revenues. In many cases, this represents a huge financial loss to arrangers as they have initially paid significant sums of money for copyright permission to create arrangements. Choruses and quartets are encouraged to request enough copies for each of their members so that arrangers and publishers are compensated for their creative work and property through their share of per copy fees.

For songs in public domain, there are no song owners, and arrangers may collect fees appropriate to their work.

I’ve made a few updates to my arrangement of ‘For Good,’ and Shayna has just recorded beautiful new learning tracks for this version.  Check my arrangements page for her contact info.

I’ve just completed a new intro for ‘When I Fall in Love’ which includes lyrics and provides a stronger beginning for this song, especially in contest. Please contact me to obtain a copy.

I recently revisited my arrangement of ‘Chances Are’ with my chorus, and our learning track mistress, Shayna, made some beautiful tracks to help us imprint good musicality from the start. The song was a great hit on our recent show, and I know audiences in upcoming performances will enjoy it as well!

I’ve just adjusted my arrangement of ‘When I Fall in Love’ to create a more climatic ending.  Please feel free to contact me to receive the latest version.

I’ve just updated two of my arrangements which are now contest-worthy.  My arrangement of ‘Smile,’ a beautiful ballad, has learning tracks available through Joanne Oosterhoff.  The other song, ‘Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,’ is a rhythmic and fun Gerswhin standard.  For learning tracks of this uptune, please contact me via email.

Check out my arrangement of ‘Atlantic City’ (from Ragtime) combined with ‘On a Sunday by the Sea’ (Jule Styne).  These spirited songs lend themselves well to the barbershop style and are ready for a fun-filled performance.

Many of my Beatles arrangements are now cleared and available either through me or SAI Sales department. Check out these titles:
All You Need is Love
If I Fell
Magical Mystery Tour (with Your Mother Should Know)
We Can Work it Out

Learning tracks available for most of these titles….contact me for further info!

I’ve just updated my arrangement of ‘When I Fall in Love’ to make it more suitable for contest.

I’ve just updated my arrangement of ‘The More I See You’ so it can be performed in ‘swing’ much like the style of Michael Buble, Johnny Hartman, and other jazz singers. Check it out!
