This arrangement can be performed by choirs of any level. The part-song arrangement sets every part to a section of the melody.

He conducted adult, teenager and children choirs. He was an author, composer and arranger and some of his compositions won “Musique pour les Jeunes en Hainaut.”

This is a score for a three-part mixed group, composed with the famous text of the poem “Que sont mes amis devenus” written by Rutebeuf. He was a 13th century French minstrel who wrote fabliaux, funeral laments and pieces like “Le Miracle de Théophile.” Jean-Jacques Massé harmonized version which remains similar to the one Léo Ferré realized. Jean-Jacques Massé has used an overlapping system with melody split between three desks. As a result, the writing is more contrapuntal than harmonic. He was part of Radio-France choir school, and then he studied at Conservatoire National Supérieur, Paris in harmony. He is now teaching musical education in middle school. He has written many arrangements for equal-voice choir and mixed-voice choir he has conducted. Jean Michelet also harmonized this song as a part-song (ref. ACJ 022).

Penny Lane a beautiful arrangement for 3 mixed voices and piano by Pierre Gérard Verny of the immortal Beatles' hit.
The jazz spirit infused by Pierre-Gérard Verny does not disturb the original pop style of the song, and even supports the nostalgic atmosphere that runs like a shiver through this simple harmonization, ideal for all choirs.
