Written specifically for Frank Sinatra, this feel-good song gave listeners an escape from the mundane of everyday suburban life and worry about the Vietnam War. The song's success is credited with propelling Sinatra to great fame and ultimate recognition as one of the most influential and beloved artists of the 20th century. Music by James van Heusen, lyrics by Sammy Cahn. Arranged by Mark Hayes. Directed by Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt. Soloists: Marla Tedesco & Jeff Ginnow

Tellico Voices performed this wonderful a cappella piece at our March 5, 2024 concert. When the two lovers in the song meet in Mayfair (London), they imagine "angels dining at the Ritz," "streets paved with stars," and "a nightingale singing in Berkeley Square" - a theme for lovers who are desperately missing each other and who contemplate their reunion. What a beautiful arrangement! Lyrics by Eric Maschwitz, music by Manning Sherwin. Arranged by Kirby Shaw Director: Dennis Loy Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt

First introduced in the Broadway musical "Lady Be Good," "Fascinating Rhythm" provided the music for a famous dance sequence by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This Gershwin Brothers' version ranges between Jazz, Swing, Latin, Classical, and contemporary rhythms. It was so much fun to sing! Music and Lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin. Arranged by Mark Hayes. Directed by Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt

From the 1937 musical "Babes in Arms," it was originally sung by a female character to a male, whose name was Valentine. Spoiler alert - the song has nothing to do with Valentine's Day - but it has become a jazz standard dedicated to love that transcends physical appearance. Lyrics by Lorenzo Hart, Music by Richard Rogers. Arranged by Mac Huff. Directed by Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt.

From the musical “Guys and Dolls,” which opened on Broadway in 1950 and received 5 Tony Awards. It's considered to be one of the greatest Broadway musicals, telling the story of sometimes hapless gamblers and other characters in the New York City underworld. Music & Lyrics by Frank Loesser. Arranged by Ed Lojeski. Directed by Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt. Narrated by Terry Weber from notes by Susan Ginnow. Video story by Jeff Ginnow.

From Stephen Sondheim's comical farce "A Little Night Music," this song was a late addition to the play, written in less than two days. Little did Sondheim know that this complicated piece would become one of his most popular and endearing compositions. Arranged by Mac Huff for Hal Leonard Corporation. Director: Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt.

From the 1964 musical, "Funny Girl," this iconic song received NO Tony awards! "People" was almost cut from the show, as the director felt it didn't fit the character of Fanny Brice. Of course, the rest is history...

Music by Julie Steyn, lyrics by Bob Merrill. Arranged by Mac Huff. Directed by Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt. Narration by Terry Weber from notes by Susan Ginnow. Video story by Jeff Ginnow.
