Disco Classics Vol. 1 (Choral basics)

This collection was devised in celebration of the fantastic, sequin-encrusted world that was the 1970s. Not only well-written songs in their own right, full of musical nuance, pacing and drama, these are also some of the most well-known recordings in popular music - and great fun!

The Bee Gees 1979 hit 'Tragedy', is a sophisticated piece of pop music, with carefully thought-out melodies, key changes and dynamics. Younger people will be more accustomed to the version by the group Steps! The Weather Girls 1982 hit of 'It's Raining Men' is a big-voice number and an enduring comp classic. 'Y.M.C.A.' was also a 1979 hit, and performed by the novelty group, Village People. This arrangement is features a percussion breakdown and some textural effects to create a more substantial concert closer or encore.
