About the Arranger: Greg Gilpin

Greg Gilpin has established himself as one of the most prolific and sought-after choral arrangers in America. His work spans concert halls from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to international venues including the Sydney Opera House, Royal Festival Hall in London, and Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik. As Director of Educational Choral Publications for Shawnee Press, Gilpin combines his deep understanding of what singers need with his award-winning compositional voice, earning recognition from ASCAP and respect across the choral community.

Beyond the music world, Gilpin's creative energy extends to film scoring and the recording industry, where he produced the award-winning score for the short film "Rosie's Rescue."

Why we love this

Gilpin's arrangements strike a rare balance between popular appeal and genuine musical substance. This tribute to Annette carries the infectious energy his pop series is known for while remaining fully singable across mixed ranges and abilities, making it an immediate crowd-pleaser without sacrificing artistry.

What to expect

Energetic and nostalgic, with the warmth of a well-loved melody framed in contemporary harmonic language. The arrangement invites singers into a musical moment that feels both polished and joyful.

Who it's for

Mixed choirs of all levels will find this arrangement accessible and rewarding. The tribute format appeals to directors seeking a celebratory showpiece that connects with audiences through popular recognition while showcasing strong vocal writing.

How to get the most out of it

Reference the SoundTrax recording to nail the rhythmic pocket and groove; Gilpin's pop arrangements rely on precision ensemble work to land their impact.
Pay attention to the recorded accompaniment's balance and let it guide your dynamic levels; the arrangement assumes singers will sit in the mix rather than fight over the top of it.
Build familiarity with the melodic hook early in rehearsals so singers gain confidence singing over the recorded track before refining blend and balance.

How to use it

This works beautifully as a concert opener or mid-program lift, especially in spring concerts or celebration-themed programs where audience recognition adds to the performance energy. Its approachable style makes it ideal for programs that balance serious repertoire with pieces designed to connect warmly with listeners.
