Ballerina (sometimes titled Dance, Ballerina, Dance) is arranged for SSATBaB choir with piano, notated bass, and drums, drawing inspiration from Gregory Porters version on Nat King Cole & Mewhich features a Vince Mendoza orchestral arrangementand explicitly modeled after that lush, swinging take. The piano part is written in more of a traditional jazz notation style, using slashes, rhythmic figures, chord symbols rather than being fully-notated as is typical throughout this catalog. Theres a prominent baritone lyricsolo role, with a few lyric lines carried by the ensemble, which otherwise provides a studioorchestra style accompaniment. Harmonically dense and demandingextended upper ranges, tricky voiceleading (check that soprano intro!)it blends technical challenge with efficiency: part of the headin is reprised in the headout, saving some rehearsal time. After an improv section, the chart transitions into a up-tempo jazzwaltz soli before kicking back into a hardgrooving swing feel. With its powerful, dramatic opening, Ballerina works beautifully as a set opener or anywhere you want a strong statementambitious, lush, and designed to grab attention right from beat one.
