Carolina — An SATB with divisi a cappella arrangement of the Taylor Swift “folky” song from the movie, “Where the Crawdads Sing.”

^{Mr. Barnes had requested Mr. Johnson to make this arrangement of “Carolina”, as no other arrangement existed at the time. He praised Mr. Johnson’s work just before the performance, praise that proved well justified with the arrangement’s skill and quality, to these admittedly non-Swiftie ears.}^{— George Yeh, KDHX review of the premiere performance}❖ Preview or purchase via: SMP | SMD
