All Of Me (arr. Scott Kitzmiller): TTBB Choral Octavo

Warm and approachable, with the classic close harmony and consonant beauty that barbershop style delivers so naturally. The familiar melody and straightforward four-part framework invite singers to focus on the emotional core of the song rather than wrestling with complex notation.

Men's choirs wanting to connect with singers through repertoire that feels contemporary and singable. Directors seeking a short, manageable octavo that works equally well in informal settings or concert programs.

• Balance the lead line carefully in this voicing; the melody often sits in the second tenor, so encourage that section to project without oversinging.
• Anchor the barbershop harmony with a rock-solid bass line. These chords demand precision tuning, especially the sustained harmonic moments.
• Let the vulnerability of the lyric shine through the four-part writing. Barbershop lends itself to genuine emotion when singers commit to the text.
• Experiment with the recorded accompaniment at different tempos. The flexibility of the arrangement supports both a more introspective read and a lighter, swinging treatment.

Perfect for concert closers or pops concerts where you want to showcase your men's ensemble in repertoire audiences recognize. At five pages, it's ideal for mixed concert bills where you need something substantial yet quick to rehearse.
