ECS Publishing Mama Said - Foster/Rardin - SATB
Additional Photos:
Composer: Ruthie Foster
Arranger: Paul Rardin
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SATB a cappella
American blues icon Ruthie Foster released Mama Said on her 2007 recording The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster. This arrangement is deliberately "choral", preferring to honour Ms. Foster's exquisite vocal shadings--a bend here, a fall-off there--by avoiding exact imitation. The basses provide the rhythm section of electric bass and closed hi-hat cymbal, leaving the upper three parts in gospel harmony in all but a few measures of the piece. The divisi is confined to a few chords and is not difficult. An arresting and totally unique setting that will be a favourite with any group that is comfortable singing unaccompanied.
