The Rhythm of Life (from Sweet Charity)

Difficulty: Moderate

Quick Summary

 Although this two-part arrangement of the song sounds challenging, the harmonies are largely generated by the layering of different melodies.  Students love the rhythmic energy that occurs from the semiquaver passages and the syncopation, while the key and tempo changes provide additional excitement through to the big finish.
