    Thanks for sharing this George! This could be a good show stopper on quartet+chamber choir shows. Too few of those happening at the moment. But our collaboration will generate more arrangements and compositions like this SSAATTBB+TTBB-version. Could possibly shorten the gap between the Barbershop and classical choir world. And it will benefit all cause it's so dang fun!
