Symptom of Life (SSATB Lv 4) KerryMarsh.com Score Preview

This SSATB arrangement stays true to the original recording from Willow’s 2024 album Empathogen, capturing its energy and rhythmic complexity with minimal deviation. The chart features a lyric solo for soprano or alto as well as ensemble lyric sections, all layered over shifting meters—alternating 4/4 and 3/4 in the verses and pre-choruses—before locking into a head-nodding eighth-note drive during the choruses. The surprising yet grounded progressions carry the emotional weight, while moments of hemiola and syncopated ensemble writing challenge and energize the group. The mood is serious and contemplative, with rich textures supporting the song’s theme of self-reflection and transformation. Fully-notated piano and bass parts plus drums round out the rhythm section. With a powerful build that sustains through the final chorus, this one can anchor any spot in your set—opener, closer, or somewhere in between.

Demo Credits: Kerry Marsh (all vocals, S/A and solo part utilizing AI voice model, piano/bass programming), Blue Noyes (drums)
