About the songs . . .
Feeling Good (Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse), arranged Jim Clements
George Michael . . . Muse . . . The Pussycat Dolls . . . all have covered this great song. We hope you
like the VOCES8 version too! It was commissioned for a wedding that we sang at in our first year as
a professional group. The venue was Winchester Cathedral, the acoustic wrapped itself around this
fantastic melody and the music just took off. Now we sing this song on concert platforms all over the
world. Make sure you really enjoy the last chord – it’s a spine-tingling moment in any concert.
Nobody Does It Better (M. Hamlisch and C. Bayer-Sager), arranged Jim Clements
Wherever we travel in the world, we like to represent the very best of British... And what better
British character can there be than James Bond? This song, from the film The Spy Who Loved Me, is the
first of our Bond arrangements to be published, but anyone who has seen us in concert will know there
are more to come. This song regularly gives Andrea, one of our fabulous sopranos, the chance to bring
a dash of her ‘Bond Girl’ to the stage.
Folksong Medley, arranged Emily Dickens
This arrangement draws together a pair of stunningly emotive melodic lines from the Scottish and
Irish folk traditions. The lower voices create a drone on which the tenor and upper voices explore the
beautifully simple and instantly recognizable harmonies of these folk songs. This arrangement was first
performed by VOCES8 on tour in the USA in 2011.
Erlkönig (Franz Schubert), arranged Jim Clements
‘Erlkönig’ tells the terrifying tale of a young boy and his father riding home through the forest and
being chased by the Erl King. This arrangement of the famous Schubert song conveys a real sense of
melodrama: each voice has a chance to inhabit the characters from the story while Schubert’s original
piano part is brought to life by the other voices. The piece is great fun – and a great challenge for
anyone who likes to sing ‘d-v-d’ repeatedly, and very fast!
Shenandoah, arranged Thomas Hewitt Jones
This beautiful arrangement was made for VOCES8 by our composer-in-residence, Thomas Hewitt
Jones, to celebrate the group’s fifth anniversary. As part of the anniversary celebrations, VOCES8
toured the USA for two months in early 2012: a really special moment for the group came when we
performed this song in the Shenandoah Valley itself.
Opera Medley, arranged Jim Clements
This is one of VOCES8’s earliest arrangements, and one of our most popular arrangements worldwide.
Many well-loved tunes from famous operas appear throughout the song, and for anyone who has seen
this performed by VOCES8 on stage, you’ll know that there’s plenty of opportunity to bring the songs
to life by unleashing your inner Diva! ‘Opera Medley’ was originally written for VOCES8 to perform
at the Royal Opera House in London.
Wade in the Water, arranged Jim Clements
This famous spiritual is really brought to life in a new way by Jim’s brilliant arrangement, and it’s a
song that we feel suits VOCES8 really well. Big writing, fantastic harmonies and a real joy of life burst
out of every line. We hope you enjoying singing this as much as we do!
The Luckiest (Ben Folds), arranged Jim Clements
‘The Luckiest’ is the most frequently requested song in any VOCES8 workshop. A song that brings a
tear to the eye of performers and listeners, this arrangement conjures with a powerful text and sweeping
harmonies to produce real emotion and depth of feeling. This is a favourite of VOCES8 audiences, and
we can’t wait to hear other ensembles putting their voices to this song too.
