Hal Leonard Featured Collection

Mac Huff's arrangements of "This Is Me" and "For Good" lead the choral side, giving singers big Broadway moments they're proud to perform. Paul Murtha's Selections from Encanto at Grade 3 brings a crowd favorite to concert band, and "Funkytown" at Grade 1.5 gets younger players grooving fast. Marching bands can fire up the stands with "Crazy Train" and "Take on Me." On the piano bench, "Megalovania" from Undertale and "Defying Gravity" from Wicked give students songs they'll actually want to practice.

Mac Huff is a composer, arranger, pianist, and musical director whose credits include shows for Disney, ABC, NBC, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. His published works are represented exclusively through Hal Leonard, and his arrangements of "This Is Me" and "For Good" bring Broadway-sized moments to school choirs. He knows how to make a show tune feel big without making it impossible to sing.

Mark Brymer has spent decades as a leading choral writer and arranger for the educational and church markets, with hundreds of original works, medleys, and arrangements in print. He also produced and arranged over 400 recordings for the K-6 McGraw-Hill music textbook series. His pop arrangements like "Viva La Vida" and "I Want You Back / ABC" are the ones students hum in the hallway after rehearsal.

Paul Murtha served as Chief Arranger for The United States Army Band ("Pershing's Own") from 2001 to 2016, after earlier stints with the West Point band. He has written for artists like Patti LaBelle and Gloria Estefan and for the National Symphony Orchestra's televised "A Capitol Fourth". His Encanto selections show the same polish in a concert band chart students already love.

Rollo Dilworth is a professor of choral music education at Temple University and taught middle school choral and general music before moving to the college level. Over 200 of his choral works have been published, and in 2015 he launched his own choral series with Hal Leonard. Pieces like "I Sing Because I'm Happy" and "Everlasting Melody" carry that classroom experience right into the music.
