Eleanor Rigby, by Yumiko Matsuoka

This Lennon-McCartney classic retains some of the flavor of the original Beatles' arrangement intact by giving the background vocals a string-like texture in the opening section. It then goes through a couple of key changes and gives different parts an opportunity to sing the melody while the background supports with strong harmony and interesting counterlines. SAATBB a cappella. Recorded on To Every Thing There Is A Season, Yumiko's anthology album.

Lovin' You, by Yumiko Matsuoka

Another arrangment written for Vox One, the 70's hit by Minnie Riperton is a feature for a strong soprano as well as for bass with a good funk feel. The inner voices create a bed of sound reminiscent of a sun-drenced field of flowers. There is a short section in the middle for a tenor solo; and it ends with a slightly slower tempo letting every part shine with their own lines. Recorded on Vox One's Say You Love Me. SATTB a cappella

Simple Gifts, by Yumiko Matsuoka

Another arranagement written for Vox One's album Pure Imagination, this Shaker song is transformed into an ode to the open skies of Africa. Combining a Swahili phrase for "dance and sing" and vowels not commonly used in choral singing, a bed of background lines are laid to carry the melody in 9/8. Its uplifting message comes through strongly as joyous rhythm and harmony is weaved together by each part. SATBB a cappella.
