Gwyn Arch has arranged Jerome Kern's All the things you are, jazz potboiler Moonglow and Stevie Wonder's You are the sunshine of my life for this set. Arch, the old master, couldn't turn out a bad arrangement if he tried. All three exploit the luminous quality that can be achieved by young soprano and alto voices moving together in syncopated chords. The first two are the most successful, with good piano parts and there is a nice Debussy reference in Moonglow for the pianist. ... Moonglow and Sunshine both have obbligato vocal solos, the first is quite easy and will be a confidence-builder for someone, but for Sunshine, if you don't have a soloist who can hit top Gs with abandon you will need to be able to split into four parts to cover it. A good set, and in fact you could perform this volume from cover to cover for a good 10-minute programme.Music Teacher, June 2009
