Things to consider
Start with the choral octavos if your group sings at the Grade 3 to 3.5 level; they're accessible yet retain Porter's sophisticated harmonic language. For jazz groups, check the ensemble instrumentation listed in each score to confirm your section needs (the series covers small jazz combos through full big band). Piano soloists should preview the lead sheets or listen to samples before purchasing, since Porter's syncopation and stride technique vary significantly across different arrangements.
