for SATBB unaccompanied
By the way, I love you is a fun a cappella number that sets words by Garth Bardsley in a big band style. Swing and rhythmic groove is vital to the performance, with the catchy melody held first by the sopranos before passing between the voices, always over a bed of lively scat singing. There is great interplay between the voice parts, with playful interjections from the accompanying voices as the melody part recounts everything that they love about the special person they are
singing about.
