The 'Loop Songs' by Bertrand Gröger (Jazzchor Freiburg) are modern choral études for all SATB groups. Originally conceived as warm-ups or to break up the routine of repertoire rehearsals, many songs are also suitable as concert songs. The 44 compositions, divided into four levels of difficulty, allow for a varied training of stylistically typical rhythm, harmony and melody. By means of 'learning by singing', the singers acquire skills in singing scat syllables, timing and intonation. This collection, containing two and a half hours of music, covers a wide range of music genres: Swing, Latin, Afro, Gospel, R&B, Funk, Pop, Rock and World music. All 'Loops Songs' recorded by the Swingle Singers are provided for download. Also available: edition for choir singers ED 20368-01.

The inspired retrospective text makes hidden allusions to landmarks well known to the inhabitants of the city of Nelson, British Colombia, but it can be read and understood in a more universal way as well.
