As recorded by New York Voices (“New York Voices” – 1989, GRP), this NYV original is a wordless piece incorporating both baroque and samba styles – thus the name. As with most of the NYV repertoire, this is a pretty challenging arrangement, incorporating close harmony and active syncopation. But if you have a solid rhythm section, and motivated singers, it’s a lot of fun.

Sop: G2 – C5
Alto: G2 – C4
Tenor: C2 – C4
Bass: G1 – Bb3
